JELLYCAT LIMITED has an average payment time of 32 days, sitting marginally above the standard 30-day benchmark, indicating a slight but consistent tendency toward delayed settlement. While 61% of payments are made within 30 days, the remaining 39% extend beyond this threshold, with 28% falling in the 31–60 day range and a notable 11% exceeding 60 days. This distribution suggests a pattern of moderate payment delays that, while not severe, points to an inconsistent adherence to standard payment terms.
A late payment rate of 35% represents a significant reliability concern, meaning more than one in three invoices is not settled on time, introducing meaningful cash flow unpredictability for suppliers. The 11% of payments exceeding 60 days further compounds this risk, indicating that a proportion of invoices face substantial delays that could strain supplier liquidity. Overall, payment behaviour is moderately volatile, with limited predictability around settlement timelines.
JELLYCAT LIMITED presents a moderate payment risk profile, acceptable for continued supply but warranting active credit management given the 35% late payment rate and 32-day average. Suppliers should consider implementing tighter credit terms, such as shorter payment windows or reduced credit limits, to offset the risk posed by the elevated late payment frequency. Proactive invoice follow-up at the 25-day mark and escalation protocols for accounts approaching 60 days are recommended risk mitigation measures.
