Company Review

Trend Analysis

SPIRIT PUB COMPANY consistently demonstrates a slower payment trend, with an average payment time of 45 days. While 20% of payments are made within 30 days, the vast majority (69%) fall into the 31-60 day bracket, indicating a predictable pattern of moderate payment speed.

Volatility Analysis

Despite the concentration of payments between 31-60 days, 11% of invoices extend beyond 60 days, introducing an element of unpredictability regarding the timing of some payments. While the "Late: 0%" indicates eventual payment reliability, the significant tail of over 60 days represents a risk for cash flow planning for a small portion of transactions.

Summary Analysis

Suppliers should anticipate an average payment cycle of 45 days when dealing with SPIRIT PUB COMPANY, with a high probability of payment within 60 days. The primary risk lies with the 11% of invoices that may exceed 60 days; consider establishing clear payment terms or offering early payment incentives to mitigate this.
