Company Review

Trend Analysis

The average payment time for VIRIDOR POLYMER RECYCLING LIMITED is 36 days, indicating a consistent trend of settling invoices slightly beyond standard 30-day terms. While 48% of payments are made within 30 days, a significant 40% fall into the 31-60 day bracket, suggesting a recurring pattern of extended payment cycles for a substantial portion of invoices. This trajectory points towards a tendency for payments to extend past the initial 30-day period.

Volatility Analysis

A late payment rate of 26%, coupled with 12% of payments extending beyond 60 days, introduces a moderate level of unpredictability for suppliers. This data indicates that a quarter of invoices are not paid on time, with a notable portion experiencing significant delays, thus impacting cash flow reliability. Suppliers should consider this variability when assessing the company's payment predictability and potential for cash flow strain.

Summary Analysis

Overall, VIRIDOR POLYMER RECYCLING LIMITED presents a moderate payment risk, characterized by an average payment time of 36 days and a 26% late payment rate. Suppliers should factor in the likelihood of payments extending beyond 30 days and consider implementing shorter payment terms, upfront deposits for larger orders, or setting clear late payment penalties. Regular monitoring of payment performance is recommended to inform ongoing supplier relationship decisions and mitigate potential cash flow impacts.

Any other information about payment terms

Viridor introduced a new automated invoice process in conjunction with a new group ERP system in November 2021. This was implemented to deliver improved financial governance and improve the timeliness and response to the invoice workflow and payments to suppliers. A valid invoice reflects: • registered and approved supplier • purchase order number • includes the necessary details of goods/services, date and financial detail and sent either electronically to invoices@viridor.co.uk or by post. Whilst Viridor is not a member of the prompt payment code, we do adopt the principles of the code including: 1. paying suppliers on time – with average payment days below our standard terms 2. Clear guidance to suppliers – our terms and conditions are included within our purchase orders and on our website.
