Score of 93/100 qualifies for PaymentCheck Certification
PE LIMITED demonstrates a strong and consistent payment pattern, with an average payment time of 17 days, well within standard 30-day terms. The vast majority of invoices (97%) are settled within 30 days, with only a minimal 3% falling into the 31–60 day bracket and no recorded payments exceeding 60 days. This distribution indicates a stable and reliable payment trajectory with no signs of deterioration.
The overall late payment rate of 4% is low and poses minimal risk, suggesting that delays are isolated incidents rather than a systemic pattern. The complete absence of payments beyond 60 days further reinforces the predictability of PE LIMITED's payment behaviour. Cashflow disruption risk for suppliers engaging with this company is considered very low based on the available data.
PE LIMITED presents as a low-risk, high-reliability trading partner, making them a strong candidate for standard or even preferential credit terms. Suppliers can reasonably expect settlement well ahead of due dates, reducing the need for aggressive credit control measures. As a precautionary measure, routine invoice follow-up at the 25-day mark would be sufficient to capture the small proportion of late payments before they approach the 30-day threshold.
