Ranked in 4 industries
This company is listed under more than one industry, so we show its position in each rather than picking one.
PLANTFORCE RENTALS LTD consistently processes payments with an average time of 43 days, indicating a trend to pay beyond standard 30-day terms. A significant majority (90%) of payments are completed within 60 days, split between 41% within 30 days and 49% between 31-60 days.
While the company demonstrates good reliability for eventual payment with only 1% classified as truly "late," there is some predictability risk with 10% of payments extending beyond 60 days. This suggests that while most invoices are settled within two months, a notable portion may experience extended payment cycles, impacting immediate cash flow projections.
PLANTFORCE RENTALS LTD is a moderately reliable payer, generally settling invoices within a 30-60 day window, with very few instances of outright late payments. Suppliers should anticipate an average payment period of 43 days and consider extending standard net-30 terms or adjusting credit limits to mitigate the risk posed by the 10% of invoices that may exceed 60 days.
