Trend Analysis
BCA VEHICLE SERVICES LIMITED has an average payment time of 30 days, aligning with typical net 30 terms. However, only 59% of payments are completed within this 30-day window, indicating a trend where a significant portion of invoices extend beyond initial terms. A substantial 38% of payments fall into the 31-60 day category, suggesting a consistent trajectory towards slower payment performance for a large segment of their obligations.
Volatility Analysis
While the average is timely, the payment distribution reveals inconsistency, as less than two-thirds of payments are reliably made within 30 days. The large proportion of payments occurring between 31 and 60 days introduces an element of unpredictability, requiring suppliers to anticipate extended payment cycles. Furthermore, the 11% classified as late, with 3% extending over 60 days, presents a tangible risk of prolonged payment delays impacting cash flow.
Summary Analysis
Suppliers should consider BCA VEHICLE SERVICES LIMITED to be an acceptable payer on average, but must factor in that nearly half of invoices will likely extend beyond 30 days. It is advisable to establish clear payment terms and implement proactive credit control for invoices approaching the 30-day mark to manage potential delays. Consider offering incentives for early payment or negotiating shorter standard terms to mitigate the risk of extended payment cycles impacting supplier cash flow.

Payment Terms
Standard payment terms
Standard payment terms are 30 days from end of month. In some instances, payment terms with specific suppliers may vary from immediate payment up to30 days from end of month, dependant on the underlying good or service, as well as the payment method. The company typically issues batches of payments on a weekly basis. If a payment falls due on a bank holiday or weekend, payments will typically be issued on the next business day. As a result, payments will often be received by the supplier shortly after the due date. In order for payments to be made in line with payment terms, invoices must include the issued Purchase Order number, and all other required documents must also be provided. Standard payment terms as reported here are also impacted by payment terms to companies within the Group.
