Industry ranking
The average payment time for SWITALSKIS SOLICITORS LIMITED is 29 days, suggesting a generally prompt processing speed. However, a significant portion of payments, 40%, consistently extends beyond 30 days, with 6% taking over 60 days, indicating a trajectory where a notable segment of invoices faces delayed settlement.
Payment reliability is low, as evidenced by 54% of invoices being paid late, making cash flow predictability challenging for potential suppliers. The substantial spread, with 34% of payments between 31-60 days and 6% over 60 days, introduces considerable volatility and working capital risk.
Suppliers should approach SWITALSKIS SOLICITORS LIMITED with caution due to the high 54% late payment rate and a significant portion of payments extending beyond standard terms. To mitigate risk, consider stricter payment terms, requiring upfront deposits for substantial orders, or exploring dynamic discounting for early payment incentives.
