Score of 92.7/100 qualifies for PaymentCheck Certification
DAWSONGROUP consistently demonstrates prompt payment, with an excellent average time of 25 days and 92% of invoices settled within 30 days. This indicates a strong positive trend towards timely financial obligations, suggesting robust and reliable cash flow management.
While 91% of payments are on time or early, 9% are late, with 6% falling into the 31-60 day bracket and 2% exceeding 60 days. This minor but present late payment percentage introduces a slight element of unpredictability for a small portion of transactions, requiring mild vigilance.
Overall, DAWSONGROUP presents a low payment risk, characterized by strong payment discipline and a high percentage of on-time settlements. Suppliers can proceed with confidence, though establishing clear payment terms and monitoring any invoices exceeding 30 days is recommended for the small percentage of late payments.
