HILLHOUSE QUARRY GROUP LIMITED consistently pays within the 31-60 day window, accounting for 69% of payments, with an average payment time of 32 days. This indicates a general trend of settling invoices slightly beyond standard 30-day terms, but reliably within two months.
The high concentration of payments (69%) in the 31-60 day range suggests predictable payment behavior, minimizing significant unpredictability. However, the 2% of payments exceeding 60 days introduces a minor tail risk for very delayed settlements, although this is a small percentage.
Suppliers should anticipate payments from HILLHOUSE QUARRY GROUP LIMITED typically arriving between 31-60 days. It is advisable to factor a 60-day payment cycle into cash flow projections, and consider negotiating payment terms accordingly or applying a slight premium for immediate payment requirements to mitigate potential delays.
