Industry ranking
HAYDOCK COMMERCIAL VEHICLES LIMITED consistently averages a 41-day payment period, with only 30% of invoices settled within 30 days. The majority of payments, 57%, occur between 31 and 60 days, showing a clear trend of exceeding standard 30-day terms. A smaller, yet significant, 13% extends beyond 60 days.
The payment pattern shows moderate predictability, with a large segment settling between 31-60 days. However, the 13% paying over 60 days and the overall 25% late payment rate introduce a notable risk of extended payment cycles. This suggests potential for cash flow disruptions if standard 30-day terms are expected.
Suppliers should factor in an average payment time of 41 days, anticipating that 70% of invoices will extend beyond 30 days. Consider establishing 60-day payment terms or implementing strategies like early payment discounts to manage cash flow. Evaluate the impact of these extended payment cycles on your operational liquidity before engaging.
