THE REED BOARDALL GROUP LIMITED typically processes payments within 31-60 days, accounting for 65% of invoices, with an average payment time of 38 days. While 30% of payments are prompt (within 30 days), the majority consistently extend beyond standard net-30 terms. This trajectory indicates a consistent pattern where payments are likely to fall into the slightly extended timeframe.
The company exhibits moderate predictability in its payment behavior, with a significant 38% of payments recorded as late, introducing an element of unreliability for suppliers. The spread of payments, including 5% extending over 60 days, presents a clear risk of extended working capital cycles. Suppliers should anticipate payments potentially stretching beyond 30 days, with a notable chance of lateness.
Suppliers should approach engagement with THE REED BOARDALL GROUP LIMITED with an understanding that timely payments (within 30 days) are not the predominant pattern. Key decision factors include the 38% late payment rate and the 38-day average, indicating a need for careful cash flow planning. Consider negotiating shorter payment terms or implementing stricter credit limits and active follow-up to mitigate the risk of extended payment cycles.
