DAWSONGROUP ENVIRONMENTAL MUNICIPAL CIVIL LIMITED carries an average payment time of 38 days, sitting just outside standard 30-day terms and indicating a consistent pattern of slightly delayed settlement. The majority of payments (55%) fall within the 31-60 day band, suggesting a structural tendency to pay beyond agreed terms rather than an occasional lapse. Only 40% of invoices are cleared within 30 days, confirming that prompt payment is the exception rather than the norm for this company.
A 16% late payment rate introduces a moderate level of predictability risk, meaning roughly one in six invoices will require active follow-up or extended credit exposure. The small but notable 5% of payments exceeding 60 days signals occasional significant delays that could strain supplier cash flow if invoice values are high. Overall, payment behaviour is relatively consistent but skewed toward the slower end, making outcome forecasting moderately reliable though not risk-free.
This company presents a moderate payment risk profile — manageable for most suppliers but requiring careful credit and cash flow planning. Suppliers should consider setting internal payment expectations at 38-45 days rather than standard 30-day terms to avoid unnecessary reconciliation issues. To mitigate risk, it is advisable to implement clear payment terms in contracts, issue early invoice reminders at day 25, and review credit limits proportionate to the 16% late payment exposure.
