Score of 82.8/100 qualifies for PaymentCheck Certification
THE FLANNELS GROUP LIMITED exhibits a primary trend of prompt payments, with 77% of invoices settled within 30 days, closely aligning with their 31-day average payment time. However, this is offset by a notable 12% of payments extending beyond 60 days, indicating an inconsistent payment trajectory rather than uniform speed across all transactions.
Despite the high percentage of payments within 30 days, the 12% of payments exceeding 60 days and the 2% officially late introduce considerable volatility and unpredictability. This suggests a material risk of extended payment cycles for a portion of invoices, making reliable cash flow forecasting challenging for suppliers.
Overall, THE FLANNELS GROUP LIMITED presents as a moderately reliable payer, but suppliers must account for the significant risk of delays on approximately one-fifth of invoices. Key decision factors include the supplier's ability to absorb potential 60+ day payment terms and manage the 2% late payment risk. Mitigation strategies could involve negotiating tighter payment schedules or instituting proactive invoice follow-up protocols.
