MABEY HIRE LIMITED demonstrates a trend of paying beyond typical 30-day terms, with an average payment time of 42 days. The majority of payments (54%) fall within the 31-60 day range, indicating a consistent pattern of extended payment cycles. While 39% are within 30 days, the overall trajectory points towards payments occurring in the second month.
While a significant portion of payments occur within 31-60 days, the 14% late payment rate and 7% exceeding 60 days introduce a degree of unpredictability. This distribution suggests that suppliers cannot reliably expect payment within 30 days and face a notable risk of extended delays. Therefore, suppliers should anticipate payments potentially stretching beyond the 60-day mark in some instances.
MABEY HIRE LIMITED presents a moderate payment risk, characterized by generally extended payment terms and a notable late payment rate. Suppliers should factor in the 42-day average payment time and potential for delays when establishing credit terms and cash flow projections. Consider negotiating tighter payment terms, such as 30 days net, or requiring partial upfront payments to mitigate financial exposure.
