Score of 85.8/100 qualifies for PaymentCheck Certification
Cross Plains Productions Limited demonstrates a strong central payment tendency, with an average settlement time of 25 days and 78% of invoices paid within 30 days, indicating consistent early-to-on-time payment behavior. The 16% of payments falling in the 31–60 day bracket suggests a moderate secondary payment cycle, while the 6% exceeding 60 days points to a small but notable tail of delayed settlements. Overall, the payment profile reflects a stable and largely punctual payer with a manageable proportion of slower transactions.
The concentration of 94% of payments within 60 days signals relatively low volatility and a predictable cash flow pattern for suppliers extending standard credit terms. However, the 6% of invoices paid beyond 60 days introduces some unpredictability, particularly for suppliers with tighter liquidity requirements. The 1% late payment rate is minimal and does not indicate a systemic reliability issue, though it warrants monitoring on high-value transactions.
Cross Plains Productions Limited presents a low-to-moderate risk profile and is generally suitable for standard net-30 credit terms given its 25-day average and strong within-terms payment rate. Suppliers should be aware of the 6% over-60-day exposure and may consider applying invoice follow-up procedures at the 45-day mark to mitigate potential cash flow disruption. For higher-value contracts, implementing milestone-based payment schedules or modest credit limits would provide additional protection against the minority of slower-paying transactions.
