Ranked in 2 industries
This company is listed under more than one industry, so we show its position in each rather than picking one.
SLR CONSULTING LIMITED exhibits a slow payment trend, with an average payment time of 57 days, significantly exceeding standard 30-day terms. While just over half (53%) of payments are made within 30 days, a substantial 27% consistently extend beyond 60 days, indicating a pattern of prolonged payment cycles.
Payment predictability is low, as nearly half of payments (47% combine 31-60 days and over 60 days) fall outside a standard 30-day window. The stated 25% late payment rate, combined with 27% exceeding 60 days, indicates significant inconsistency in payment adherence and a higher risk of unpredictable cash flow for suppliers.
Suppliers should anticipate considerable payment delays from SLR CONSULTING LIMITED, with a high likelihood of payments extending beyond 30 and even 60 days. Consider implementing stricter payment terms, requiring upfront payments for initial engagements, or adjusting pricing to mitigate the increased working capital costs associated with their prolonged payment behavior.
