Company Review

Trend Analysis

WALES & WEST UTILITIES LIMITED demonstrates a primary payment trend slightly beyond the 30-day mark, with an average payment time of 34 days. The predominant pattern shows 54% of payments falling within the 31-60 day window, indicating a consistent trajectory of settling invoices in the medium term.

Volatility Analysis

While a significant portion of payments occurs within 60 days, the 15% late payment rate and 2% exceeding 60 days introduce a moderate level of unpredictability. This suggests a minor but present risk of delays beyond standard payment terms, potentially impacting a supplier's cash flow planning.

Summary Analysis

Suppliers can generally anticipate payment from WALES & WEST UTILITIES LIMITED within 31-60 days, aligning with the average 34-day period. Given the 15% late payment rate, suppliers should consider factoring this into their financial projections or implementing robust credit control measures to mitigate potential delays effectively.
