Trend Analysis
ARRIVA RAIL LONDON LIMITED averages 36 days for payments, with a strong majority (74%) settling within 30 days. However, 21% of payments consistently extend into the 31-60 day window, with an additional 5% exceeding 60 days. This indicates a general trend of timely payments but with a notable portion routinely delaying beyond standard 30-day terms.
Volatility Analysis
While only 13% of payments are officially classified as "late," the distribution shows that 26% of payments (21% in 31-60 days + 5% over 60 days) fall outside a 30-day window. This introduces a moderate level of unpredictability for cash flow planning, as suppliers cannot consistently rely on all payments clearing within 30 days. The risk factors primarily involve delayed rather than missed payments.
Summary Analysis
ARRIVA RAIL LONDON LIMITED is a generally reliable payer, with the majority of invoices settled promptly. However, suppliers should factor in that up to one-quarter of payments may extend beyond 30 days, potentially impacting immediate cash flow. It is recommended to establish clear payment terms and consider appropriate credit limits to mitigate the moderate risk of delayed settlement.
