VIVOBAREFOOT LIMITED maintains an average payment time of 31 days, with a commendable 70% of invoices settled within 30 days, suggesting a generally prompt payment habit for the majority of transactions. However, a significant 46% of payments are classified as late, with 12% extending beyond 60 days, indicating a consistent portion of overdue invoices. This bifurcated trend suggests a pattern of largely prompt payments, but with a persistent tail of delayed disbursements.
The 46% late payment rate, coupled with 12% of payments exceeding 60 days, introduces notable volatility and reduces payment predictability for suppliers. While the majority pays within 30 days, the substantial proportion of overdue invoices suggests an inconsistent payment cycle for a significant segment of transactions. This pattern indicates a higher risk of delayed cash flow for a supplier, necessitating careful consideration of credit terms and potential financial strain.
Suppliers should approach VIVOBAREFOOT LIMITED with awareness of their mixed payment performance, balancing the majority promptness against the significant late payment rate. It is advisable to establish clear payment terms, potentially reducing standard net terms or requesting upfront payments for higher value orders to mitigate risk. Monitoring payment performance closely and adjusting credit limits based on actual payment behavior will be crucial for managing exposure effectively.
