Company Review

Trend Analysis

GRF SERVICES LIMITED shows a clear trend towards timely payments, with an average payment time of 25 days. A substantial 80% of invoices are consistently paid within 30 days, indicating a generally positive payment trajectory. However, the 22% late payment rate suggests occasional deviations from this otherwise strong trend.

Volatility Analysis

GRF SERVICES LIMITED exhibits moderate payment volatility, as evidenced by a 22% late payment rate despite a strong on-time majority. The unpredictability arises from 13% of payments occurring between 31-60 days, with a notable 7% extending beyond 60 days. This indicates a potential reliability risk for suppliers, particularly concerning longer payment cycles for a segment of invoices.

Summary Analysis

Overall, GRF SERVICES LIMITED presents a largely favorable payment risk profile given its 80% on-time rate and 25-day average. Suppliers should consider the 22% late payment rate, specifically the 7% exceeding 60 days, as a key decision factor for potential working capital impact. To mitigate this, it is recommended to maintain clear payment terms and potentially factor in a buffer for a minority of invoices.

Invoice Payment Practices

This information is as reported by the business, and responses are in their own words.

Payment Terms

Standard payment terms

Our payment terms are generally 30 days from invoice tax point based on the timely submission of satisfactory invoices. Payment terms are negotiated according to the context of the services or goods being purchased. The payment terms are reviewed as part of the overall contract review. Some of our suppliers will submit invoices on their own payment terms which may differ from ours. Where a supplier's payment terms are less than our standard net 30 days, we use our best endeavours to pay such invoices according to that supplier's terms.
