Ranked in 3 industries
This company is listed under more than one industry, so we show its position in each rather than picking one.
NSC GROUP PLC demonstrates a strong trend for prompt payments, with an impressive average payment time of just 20 days. A substantial 67% of invoices are consistently settled within 30 days, and crucially, all payments are completed within 60 days. This indicates a consistent focus on timely settlements, even if a third of payments extend beyond the initial 30-day period.
Despite the low average payment time, the 22% late payment rate introduces some volatility and reduces overall predictability for individual invoices. While 100% of payments are completed within 60 days, the fact that a third fall into the 31-60 day window suggests that promptness isn't entirely uniform. This indicates a moderate level of variability in payment timing, requiring suppliers to account for a percentage of potentially delayed settlements.
Overall, NSC GROUP PLC presents a generally favorable payment profile due to its low average payment time and 100% settlement within 60 days. Suppliers should weigh the high probability of payment within standard terms against the moderate risk presented by the 22% late payment rate, which affects predictability for specific invoices. To mitigate this, consider incorporating slightly longer payment terms or actively monitoring invoices approaching the 30-day mark to manage cash flow expectations effectively.
