Company Review

Trend Analysis

FOREST HOLIDAYS LIMITED generally pays within 30-60 days, with an average payment time of 34 days. While a strong majority (67%) of invoices are settled within 30 days, a noticeable portion (28%) extends to the 31-60 day window. This indicates a consistent pattern of payments slightly exceeding the typical 30-day term for a third of invoices.

Volatility Analysis

The payment profile shows moderate predictability, with 67% of invoices reliably paid within 30 days. However, the 33% of invoices taking longer than 30 days, including 17% officially late, introduces a degree of variability. Suppliers should anticipate that a portion of payments may extend beyond standard terms, potentially impacting cash flow predictability.

Summary Analysis

Considering the average 34-day payment time and 17% late payment rate, FOREST HOLIDAYS LIMITED presents a moderate payment risk. Suppliers should factor in a potential extension beyond standard 30-day terms for a third of invoices when making decisions. To mitigate risk, consider negotiating clear payment terms or adjusting internal cash flow forecasts to account for the observed payment patterns.
