Company Review

Trend Analysis

TAILSCO LIMITED demonstrates a strong trend of prompt payments, with an average time of 18 days and nearly four-fifths of invoices settled within 30 days. While generally efficient, an 11% late payment rate indicates a slight deviation from ideal promptness for a minority of invoices.

Volatility Analysis

The payment profile shows moderate volatility, as 19% of payments fall into the 31-60 day window and 3% extend beyond 60 days. This indicates that while most payments are reliable, a small but notable percentage could experience significant delays, affecting cash flow predictability.

Summary Analysis

TAILSCO LIMITED generally presents a low payment risk due to its strong average payment time and high percentage of on-time payments. Suppliers should consider the 11% late rate and the small percentage of significantly delayed payments (3% over 60 days) when setting terms or managing cash flow expectations. Implementing clear payment terms and potentially escalating procedures for overdue invoices could further mitigate risks.
