Company Review

Trend Analysis

ST JAMES GROUP LIMITED demonstrates a strong trend of timely payments, with an average payment time of 26 days, indicating an efficient payment process. A significant 80% of invoices are settled within 30 days, suggesting consistent adherence to standard payment terms and a reliable payment trajectory.

Volatility Analysis

Despite the strong average, a 19% late payment rate, including 7% of payments extending beyond 60 days, introduces a measurable degree of volatility and unpredictability for a supplier. This distribution indicates that while most payments are reliable, there is a risk of extended payment cycles for a notable portion of invoices.

Summary Analysis

Overall, ST JAMES GROUP LIMITED appears to be a generally reliable payer, with most invoices settled promptly, making them a favorable partner for suppliers. Suppliers should acknowledge the 19% late payment rate as a minor risk, potentially mitigated by clear payment terms and proactive invoice monitoring.
