Trend Analysis
BELL GROUP LTD exhibits an average payment time of 45 days, with the majority (49%) settling invoices between 31 and 60 days. While 33% pay promptly within 30 days, a significant 18% of payments extend beyond 60 days, indicating a tendency for longer payment cycles on a portion of transactions.
Volatility Analysis
Payment predictability for BELL GROUP LTD is moderate, characterized by a dispersed payment profile, though the average is consistent at 45 days. The 18% of payments exceeding 60 days introduces some variability for suppliers, but the very low 4% true late payment rate suggests a general commitment to eventual settlement, reducing extreme delinquency risk. This indicates a manageable risk profile for consistent cash flow, provided suppliers account for longer cycles.
Summary Analysis
Overall, suppliers should anticipate an average payment cycle of 45 days with BELL GROUP LTD, acknowledging that nearly half of invoices will be settled between 31-60 days. While a small percentage (18%) extends beyond 60 days, the minimal 4% late payment rate suggests a reliable, albeit sometimes slower, payer. To mitigate risk, suppliers should establish clear payment terms, consider extending credit carefully, and actively monitor accounts receivable for longer-duration invoices.
