PRACTICE PLUS GROUP URGENT CARE LIMITED demonstrates a strong trend of prompt payments, with 88% of invoices settled within 30 days and an average payment time of 31 days. However, a significant 20% of payments are classified as late, indicating a consistent portion of invoices extending beyond agreed terms, with 6% moving into the 31-60 day range and another 6% exceeding 60 days.
While the majority of payments are predictable within 30 days, the 20% late payment rate introduces a degree of unpredictability for a supplier. The 6% of payments exceeding 60 days represents a specific risk factor for cash flow, as a small but consistent portion of invoices are subject to significant delays. This suggests a need for suppliers to account for potential extended payment cycles on a segment of transactions.
Overall, PRACTICE PLUS GROUP URGENT CARE LIMITED presents a moderate payment risk profile, primarily due to the strong majority of on-time payments. Suppliers should factor in the 20% late payment rate and the 6% exceeding 60 days by potentially adjusting credit terms for new engagements or implementing robust follow-up procedures. Consider setting clear payment terms with penalties for late payments or requiring upfront deposits for larger orders to mitigate the identified delays.
