Company Review

Trend Analysis

ORDNANCE SURVEY LIMITED exhibits a strong trend of prompt payments, with 75% of invoices settled within 30 days and an average payment time of 32 days. This indicates a consistent operational process for the majority of transactions, demonstrating reliability in meeting or nearly meeting standard payment terms.

Volatility Analysis

While most payments are highly predictable, the 25% late payment rate introduces some predictable volatility for suppliers. Specifically, 8% of payments extending beyond 60 days signals a minority risk of significantly delayed settlement, requiring consideration for cash flow planning.

Summary Analysis

Overall, ORDNANCE SURVEY LIMITED presents a generally favorable payment risk profile, with a large majority of invoices paid promptly. Suppliers should anticipate that roughly a quarter of payments may be late, recommending a flexible approach to cash flow forecasting and potentially incorporating slightly longer average payment cycles into their financial planning for this client.
