With 50% of payments being late and 16% exceeding 60 days, 2M GROUP LIMITED presents moderate unpredictability in payment timing. While over half of payments occur between 31-60 days, the substantial proportion of very late payments introduces a notable risk factor for cash flow reliability.

It is recommended to factor in longer payment cycles when setting terms and consider proactive follow-up for invoices approaching 60 days to mitigate cash flow impact.
