MARKET ANALYSIS & FORECAST

 

In the United States, during the year 2007:

- 88% of the corporations in same branch were developing the business on a medium risk of late payment,

- 12% on a high risk of late payment.

 

- 58% of them saw sales stable versus last 3 years

- 42% declining

 

 

 

A high percentage of late payment may indicate that companies in this industry are experiencing cash flow problems, that suppliers generally accept late payment as part of doing business, or that on-time payment is not customary in this industry.

Companies entering such markets should not expect to be paid on time.

 

The market appears to be stable.

 

 

COMPANY CREDIT HISTORY

 

According to our credit analysts, during the last 6 months, 88% of trade experience indicates a regular payment.

Payments of imports are currently made with an average of 10 to 15 days beyond terms.

 

The Company is improving its payments, but the cash is low, due to high inventories and bad conditions of the market.

 

The bank and financial institutions confirmed a medium account and delays of payments, but the Company remains strong.

 

The risk is medium.

 

 

Our opinion:

 

A business connection may be conducted but we suggest you to check regularly the way of payments.
