Company Review

Trend Analysis

BAXTERSTOREY SCOTLAND LIMITED exhibits an average payment time of 54 days, significantly exceeding standard 30-day terms for most invoices. A dominant trend shows 69% of payments settling within 31-60 days, establishing this as their typical payment speed. However, 26% of payments consistently extend beyond 60 days, indicating a segment of invoices experiences considerably prolonged settlement cycles.

Volatility Analysis

The company's payment behavior offers moderate predictability, with a clear majority (69%) falling into the 31-60 day window. The 26% of invoices taking over 60 days introduces a notable element of unpredictability, as a significant portion will experience extended delays. This creates cash flow variability and risk for suppliers, as prompt payment cannot be reliably assumed for a quarter of transactions.

Summary Analysis

Suppliers engaging with BAXTERSTOREY SCOTLAND LIMITED should anticipate average payment terms of 54 days, with a substantial risk of 26% of invoices exceeding 60 days. It is advisable to implement robust cash flow planning and potentially negotiate more favorable payment terms upfront to mitigate delays. Consider offering early payment discounts or factoring arrangements to manage the financial impact of their extended payment cycle for a quarter of invoices.

Payment Terms

Standard payment terms

There are no standard payment terms as we believe rather than using supply chain finance, we agree payment terms with our suppliers that are long-term sustainable for both parties. The most frequently used payment terms are 42 days from the end of the period in which the invoice was processed.

Were there any changes to the standard payment terms in the reporting period?

Dispute Resolution Process

Our business ethos gives our sites freedom of choice of supplier and ordering. Our e-invoicing system allows suppliers to view invoice status at any point. Our site managers approve all invoices as they have placed the order. Any invoice queries should therefore be raised with the manager at the location supplied. If unresolved, suppliers can contact the Purchase Ledger team at the company's support office.
