Score of 92.3/100 qualifies for PaymentCheck Certification
CYGNET NW LIMITED demonstrates strong and consistent payment performance, with an average payment time of 19 days — well within standard 30-day terms. The majority of payments (85%) are settled within 30 days, with only 14% falling into the 31–60 day bracket and a minimal 1% exceeding 60 days. The complete absence of late payments reinforces a pattern of reliable, prompt settlement behaviour.
Payment behaviour is highly predictable, with 99% of all invoices resolved within 60 days and no recorded late payments, indicating very low financial risk exposure for suppliers. The small 14% share of 31–60 day payments introduces a minor degree of variability, though this remains within acceptable commercial boundaries. Overall, the data reflects a stable and low-volatility payer with negligible risk of default or significant delay.
CYGNET NW LIMITED presents a low-risk payment profile and can be considered a reliable commercial partner based on available data. Suppliers can engage with confidence under standard payment terms, with little need for protective measures such as advance payment requirements or shortened credit windows. As a precautionary measure, monitoring the 31–60 day segment for any upward trend over time is advisable to detect early signs of cash flow pressure.
