Company Review

Trend Analysis

THE EDUCATION ALLIANCE exhibits a strong trend of prompt payments, with an average payment time of 19 days, indicating consistent settlement well within standard 30-day terms. A significant 88% of invoices are consistently paid within 30 days, reflecting a reliable and favorable payment trajectory for the vast majority of transactions.

Volatility Analysis

While most payments are prompt, 12% of invoices are paid late, with 9% settling between 31-60 days and 3% exceeding 60 days, introducing a minor degree of payment unpredictability for a subset of transactions. This indicates a low-to-moderate risk of occasional, extended payment delays that could marginally impact a supplier's cash flow predictability for a small portion of their invoices.

Summary Analysis

THE EDUCATION ALLIANCE generally represents a low payment risk for suppliers, making them a favorable partner given their impressive average 19-day payment cycle. Suppliers should factor in the 12% late payment rate, considering robust invoice tracking or discussing clear payment terms to mitigate minor cash flow risks for these infrequent occurrences.
