Score of 90.6/100 qualifies for PaymentCheck Certification
PULSE HEALTHCARE LIMITED demonstrates a strong trend of prompt payments, with an average payment time of 21 days. A significant 89% of invoices are consistently settled within 30 days, indicating an efficient and predictable payment trajectory.
The company exhibits high reliability and predictability, as nearly 9 out of 10 payments are made within the typical 30-day window. While 11% of payments are considered late, with 4% extending beyond 60 days, this represents a relatively low-risk tail that introduces minor unpredictability for a small portion of invoices.
PULSE HEALTHCARE LIMITED presents a favorable payment profile for suppliers, characterized by generally prompt and reliable settlements. Suppliers can typically expect timely payments, but for larger or critical engagements, it is prudent to factor in the small chance of extended payment beyond 60 days.
