Company Review

Trend Analysis

GB GROUP PLC demonstrates a strong trend of very prompt payments, with an average payment time of just 13 days and 98% of invoices settled within 30 days. This indicates a consistent trajectory towards very early payment, significantly ahead of standard 30-day terms. The absence of any payments extending beyond 60 days further reinforces this positive trend of timely financial settlements.

Volatility Analysis

Despite the generally rapid payment speed, a 10% late payment rate introduces a minor element of unpredictability for a small subset of invoices. However, the vast majority (98%) are paid within 30 days, with only 2% extending to 31-60 days and no payments exceeding 60 days. This data suggests high overall reliability for prompt payment, with very low volatility and minimal risk of extended delays.

Summary Analysis

GB GROUP PLC presents as a highly favorable payment partner, recommended for standard credit terms given their rapid average payment time and strong compliance. Suppliers should anticipate very reliable and fast payments, with a minimal probability of minor delays for a small percentage of invoices. No specific risk mitigation beyond standard credit checks is indicated, as the data points to a very low-risk payment profile.

Payment Terms

Standard payment terms

Section 10.4 in GB Group plc’s supplier terms and conditions states our standard terms as the following: "such payment shall normally be made within 30 days of receipt by GBG of the invoice, provided that GBG has received a correctly submitted invoice via email to purchase.invoices@gbgplc.com (the “Invoice Process”). For the avoidance of doubt, GBG shall not be liable for invoices where the Invoice Process has not been followed by the Supplier" Section 12. Any fees disputed by GBG in good faith may be deducted from the invoice providing that the remainder is paid by the due date. The disputed amount should be notified by email to the Supplier giving reasons for withholding payment. Upon receipt of GBG dispute notice, the Supplier and GBG will work together in good faith to resolve such disputes in a prompt and mutually acceptable manner. GBG agrees to pay any previously disputed amounts within 30 days once the issues have been resolved. 12.2 Subject to clause 12.1, whenever under the Agreement any sum of money shall be recoverable from or payable by the Supplier, such sum may be deducted from any amount then due from GBG, or which at any time thereafter may become due, to the Supplier under the Agreement or any other agreement or arrangement with GBG. 12.3 Subject to clause 12.1, any over-payment by GBG to the Supplier (whether in respect of the Agreement Price or Value Added Tax) shall be a sum of money recoverable by GBG from the Supplier and such sum may be deducted from any amount then due from GBG to the Supplier. All invoices should be addressed to GB Group plc, Herons Way, Chester Business Park, Chester, CH4 9GB.
