Industry ranking
INHEALTH UK HOLDINGS LIMITED exhibits a clear trend of extended payment cycles, averaging 82 days per invoice. Only 35% of payments are made within 30 days, indicating a consistent trajectory towards longer payment periods for the majority of invoices, with a substantial 65% paying after the initial 30-day period.
With an average payment time of 82 days and 35% of payments classified as late, there is significant unpredictability regarding payment timeliness. While 49% pay between 31-60 days, the additional 16% paying over 60 days introduces a notable reliability risk for suppliers anticipating prompt settlement.
Suppliers should approach INHEALTH UK HOLDINGS LIMITED with caution due to their consistently long payment cycles and high late payment rate. It is recommended to negotiate strict payment terms, potentially requiring upfront payments or deposits, and to incorporate robust late payment clauses to mitigate financial risk and manage cash flow effectively.
