Company Review

Trend Analysis

Mulberry Schools Trust demonstrates a strong trend for prompt payments, with an average payment time of 28 days and 67% of invoices settled within 30 days. While a portion (7%) extends beyond 60 days, the overall trajectory indicates a commitment to timely financial obligations, as evidenced by 0% recorded as "late."

Volatility Analysis

The payment profile shows good reliability, with the majority of payments (67%) settling within 30 days and 0% officially classified as "late." While most payments are predictable, suppliers should account for a minor degree of variability, as 7% of invoices extend beyond 60 days, requiring minor cash flow planning adjustments.

Summary Analysis

Overall, MULBERRY SCHOOLS TRUST presents a highly favorable payment risk profile, indicating a reliable partner for suppliers. Suppliers can anticipate timely payments for the majority of invoices and should only consider minor cash flow adjustments for the small percentage that may exceed 60 days, given the 0% "late" payment record.
