Company Review

Trend Analysis

The average payment time for VALE OF AYLESBURY HOUSING TRUST LIMITED is 29 days, with a strong 75% of invoices settled within 30 days, indicating a generally prompt payment trend for the majority of transactions. However, a consistent 25% of payments are classified as late, suggesting a recurring pattern of delayed settlements for a quarter of their obligations.

Volatility Analysis

While 75% of payments demonstrate high reliability and promptness, the 25% late payment rate, including 9% extending beyond 60 days, introduces a moderate degree of unpredictability for a significant segment of invoices. Suppliers can generally expect timely payment for most transactions, but should account for a noticeable risk of substantial delays for a quarter of their invoices.

Summary Analysis

VALE OF AYLESBURY HOUSING TRUST LIMITED presents a largely acceptable payment profile, with a strong majority of invoices paid within 30 days, making them a viable client. Suppliers should nonetheless factor in the consistent 25% late payment rate, particularly the 9% extending beyond 60 days, by structuring clear payment terms or building appropriate buffers into pricing to mitigate potential cash flow impacts.
