Company Review

Trend Analysis

PLEXUS LEGAL LLP averages 53 days for payment, with 72% paid within 30 days, indicating efficient handling for the majority of invoices. However, a significant 28% of payments are consistently late, including 11% extending beyond 60 days, suggesting a regular trajectory of substantial delays for a segment of their obligations.

Volatility Analysis

The 28% late payment rate indicates a notable degree of unpredictability in payment schedules for nearly one-third of invoices, impacting reliable cash flow forecasting for suppliers. The 11% of payments exceeding 60 days represents a significant risk factor for prolonged payment cycles, particularly for higher-value engagements or those with tight margins.

Summary Analysis

Suppliers should approach PLEXUS LEGAL LLP with caution due to the consistent 28% late payment rate and 11% exceeding 60 days, despite a majority being timely. It is recommended to establish clear, robust payment terms with potential late fees and actively monitor initial invoices to mitigate potential cash flow disruptions from these prolonged payment cycles.
