Company Review

Trend Analysis

ACORN INSURANCE AND FINANCIAL SERVICES LIMITED demonstrates a strong trend of timely payments, with an average payment time of just 17 days. A significant 86% of invoices are settled within 30 days, indicating consistent adherence to payment terms for the vast majority of transactions. The low late payment rate of 6% further reinforces a positive trajectory in overall payment performance.

Volatility Analysis

While generally reliable, there is a minor degree of payment volatility as 12% of invoices extend into the 31-60 day window, and a small 2% exceed 60 days. This indicates a very low but present risk of occasional extended payment terms that suppliers should note. Overall, predictability is high for the majority of payments, with only a small fraction experiencing significant deviation from prompt settlement.

Summary Analysis

ACORN INSURANCE AND FINANCIAL SERVICES LIMITED is a highly reliable payer, making them a favorable partner for suppliers seeking predictable cash flow. Suppliers can generally expect prompt payment, though a very small percentage of invoices may experience slightly extended terms. For high-value transactions, consider flexible credit terms to account for the minor possibility of a 30-60 day payment window for a small subset of invoices.
