Weet iemand een goede Engelse vertaling van 'debiteurentermijn', in de zin van de (gemiddelde) tijd/periode die het debiteuren kost om hun rekeningen te voldoen? Bedankt!

A reference:

Debtors collection period = debtors/sales x 365 days
= 304/2000 x 365 =55 days
This means that on average customers (debtors) are taking 55 days to pay up.
