Ranked in 4 industries
This company is listed under more than one industry, so we show its position in each rather than picking one.
DAIKIN AIRCONDITIONING UK LIMITED typically settles invoices within an average of 29 days, with a strong 76% paid within 30 days, indicating a generally prompt payment trend. However, a significant 44% late payment rate suggests that while most payments are quick, a notable portion consistently exceeds their contractual due dates. This pattern shows a trajectory of mostly timely payments, but with a persistent subset experiencing delays.
While the majority of payments are prompt, the 23% falling into the 31-60 day bracket introduces a moderate level of variability and some unpredictability in individual invoice settlement times. The very low 1% of payments exceeding 60 days suggests a minimal risk of extreme long-term delays. The 44% late payment figure points to a consistent risk that a substantial portion of invoices may not be paid by their agreed due date, affecting cash flow predictability.
Overall, DAIKIN AIRCONDITIONING UK LIMITED is a generally reliable payer, with a high percentage of invoices settled quickly, making them a low-to-moderate risk for suppliers. Key decision factors include the strong average payment time balanced against the significant 44% late payment rate, which could impact short-term cash flow. Suppliers should consider monitoring payment performance closely or adjusting credit terms to mitigate risks associated with potential delays for a sizable portion of invoices.
