Company Review

Trend Analysis

ALTERNATIVE FUTURES GROUP LIMITED demonstrates a trend where 73% of payments are made within 30 days, indicating a strong propensity for prompt settlement. However, the average payment time of 33 days and a 27% late payment rate reveal a consistent trajectory where a notable portion of invoices exceed standard 30-day terms.

Volatility Analysis

The 27% late payment rate, specifically the 17% falling into the 31-60 day bracket and 10% exceeding 60 days, introduces a notable element of payment volatility. This indicates that suppliers cannot reliably expect all invoices to be paid promptly, posing a moderate risk to cash flow predictability for a significant minority of transactions.

Summary Analysis

Overall, ALTERNATIVE FUTURES GROUP LIMITED presents a mixed payment profile; while a majority of payments are prompt, a consistent 27% are late, with 10% extending beyond 60 days. Suppliers should factor in the potential for significant payment delays when setting credit terms and pricing, necessitating robust cash flow management. It is advisable to monitor their payment performance closely and consider staggered payment schedules or partial upfront payments for larger engagements to mitigate risk effectively.
