Company Review

Trend Analysis

MILLS & REEVE LLP exhibits a strong trend towards prompt payments with an average payment time of just 18 days. A significant 83% of invoices are settled within 30 days, demonstrating consistent speed. This indicates a very positive trajectory for cash flow predictability for suppliers.

Volatility Analysis

Despite the fast average, 28% of payments are classified as late, introducing some unpredictability for a portion of invoices. Furthermore, 14% of payments extend to 31-60 days and 3% exceed 60 days, indicating that not all payments are consistently prompt. This distribution suggests moderate volatility, requiring suppliers to prepare for occasional delays.

Summary Analysis

Suppliers can generally expect timely payments from MILLS & REEVE LLP, making them a favorable customer for cash flow. However, the 28% late payment rate presents a moderate risk factor that suppliers should acknowledge in their planning. Mitigating this risk could involve incorporating a small buffer for potential delays on individual invoices and maintaining clear communication regarding payment terms.
