ATLAS CLEANING LIMITED maintains an average payment time of 31 days, sitting just marginally above the standard 30-day threshold. The majority of payments (69%) are completed within 30 days, however a notable 24% fall within the 31-60 day bracket, suggesting a consistent pattern of slight delays rather than isolated incidents. The 7% of payments exceeding 60 days, while relatively small, indicates an ongoing tail of significantly delayed settlements that warrants monitoring.
With 31% of payments classified as late, ATLAS CLEANING LIMITED presents a moderate-to-elevated reliability concern for suppliers dependent on predictable cash flow. The spread across payment bands — particularly the 24% clustering in the 31-60 day range — points to a systemic tendency to push beyond terms rather than a volatile, unpredictable pattern. This relative consistency in delay behaviour makes cash flow impact somewhat foreseeable, though not acceptable as a standard trading condition.
ATLAS CLEANING LIMITED represents a moderate payment risk, with nearly one in three invoices settled late and an average payment time that marginally breaches standard 30-day terms. Suppliers should consider implementing tighter credit controls, such as reduced credit limits or shortened payment terms (e.g., 14-day net), to offset the elevated late payment rate. Proactive invoice follow-up at day 25 and inclusion of late payment clauses in contracts are recommended risk mitigation measures before extending or maintaining credit facilities.
