Trend Analysis
STARBUCKS COFFEE COMPANY (UK) LIMITED demonstrates a strong tendency to pay within 30 days for 74% of its invoices. However, the average payment time of 34 days indicates a consistent portion of payments extends slightly beyond typical 30-day terms. This trajectory suggests a blend of prompt payments alongside a moderately extended cycle for a notable segment of invoices.
Volatility Analysis
Payment reliability is moderate, with 22% of invoices paid between 31 and 60 days, introducing some variability and unpredictability for suppliers' cash flow. The 4% of payments exceeding 60 days, coupled with a 10% overall late payment rate, represent specific risk factors for timely settlement. Suppliers should anticipate that a significant portion of invoices may not adhere to strict 30-day payment terms.
Summary Analysis
Overall, STARBUCKS COFFEE COMPANY (UK) LIMITED presents as a moderately reliable payer, but suppliers should factor in the potential for payment delays beyond 30 days. Key decision factors include assessing the impact of a 34-day average payment cycle on immediate cash flow and the risk associated with a 10% late payment rate. Suppliers could mitigate this risk by negotiating clear payment terms, considering early payment incentives, or building a buffer for potential payment extensions.
