Score of 88/100 qualifies for PaymentCheck Certification
Lions Gate International (UK) Limited consistently exhibits prompt payment behavior with an average payment time of 25 days. A strong majority, 86%, of their invoices are settled within 30 days, indicating a stable and efficient payment speed trend. While 14% extend beyond 30 days, the overall trajectory demonstrates a commitment to timely processing.
The company shows high payment reliability, with only 11% of invoices officially designated as late. However, suppliers should account for the 12% of payments falling into the 31-60 day range and 2% exceeding 60 days, which introduces some limited variability. This low incidence of significant delays suggests generally predictable payments, but acknowledges a minor risk of extended terms for a small portion of invoices.
Lions Gate International (UK) Limited represents a low payment risk partner due to its consistently prompt average payment time and high percentage of on-time payments. Key decision factors include their reliable cash flow performance and minimal late payment rate, making them an attractive client for suppliers. To mitigate the minor risk associated with the small percentage of longer payments, suppliers should establish clear payment terms and maintain proactive communication regarding invoices approaching the 30-day mark.
