INDUSTRIAL CHEMICALS LIMITED consistently exhibits a slow payment trend, with an average payment time of 71 days. A significant majority of payments, 48%, extend beyond 60 days, indicating a routine trajectory for delayed settlement. Only 16% of invoices are paid within the standard 30-day period.
The company presents a high level of unpredictability for timely payments, with nearly half of all invoices taking over two months to settle. Furthermore, 12% of payments are explicitly late, increasing the risk of inconsistent cash flow for suppliers. Suppliers should expect extended payment cycles and not rely on standard net-30 terms.
Suppliers dealing with INDUSTRIAL CHEMICALS LIMITED should anticipate extended payment terms and integrate this into their financial planning. It is recommended to factor in potential working capital strain and consider strategies like negotiating upfront payments or implementing stricter credit policies. Close monitoring of outstanding invoices and a willingness to adjust credit limits based on payment history are crucial risk mitigation steps.
