LEBARA LIMITED exhibits a consistent trend of extended payment cycles, with an average payment time of 50 days, significantly beyond typical 30-day terms. Only 49% of payments are received within 30 days, indicating a clear trajectory where over half of invoices consistently exceed standard expectations, further highlighted by 39% of payments being late.
Payment reliability for LEBARA LIMITED is moderate to low, with a significant 39% of payments arriving late, which introduces notable unpredictability for supplier cash flow forecasting. The fact that 14% of payments extend beyond 60 days represents a material risk factor, suggesting a consistent portion of invoices are subject to substantial delays.
Overall, LEBARA LIMITED presents a heightened payment risk profile for suppliers due to its consistently long average payment time and high percentage of late payments. Suppliers should factor in an expected 50-day payment cycle and consider implementing risk mitigation strategies such as tighter payment terms, requiring partial upfront payments, or establishing conservative credit limits.
