Score of 89.3/100 qualifies for PaymentCheck Certification
CYGNET (DH) LIMITED demonstrates a strong payment profile with an average settlement time of 22 days, well within the standard 30-day threshold. The majority of payments (81%) are completed within 30 days, with a small but notable 16% falling in the 31–60 day range, suggesting occasional processing delays rather than systemic issues. The 3% over 60 days is minimal and, combined with a 0% late payment rate, indicates a consistently prompt payment pattern.
The payment distribution is relatively concentrated, with 81% of transactions settling promptly, which points to a highly predictable and reliable payment cycle. The 16% in the 31–60 day bracket introduces a moderate degree of variability, meaning suppliers should account for the possibility of some invoices extending beyond standard terms. However, the complete absence of formally recorded late payments significantly reduces cash flow risk for suppliers engaging with this company.
CYGNET (DH) LIMITED presents a low-risk payment profile and can be considered a reliable trading partner based on the available data. Suppliers should nonetheless build in a buffer when forecasting receivables, as approximately 1 in 5 invoices may settle beyond 30 days. To manage the occasional 31–60 day delay, suppliers may wish to include clear payment terms in contracts and implement a light-touch reminder process at the 25-day mark.
