Company Review

Trend Analysis

CAVERSHAM FINANCE LIMITED exhibits an average payment time of 27 days, suggesting a primary trend of payments generally falling within a 30-day window. However, the 47% late payment rate indicates a significant inconsistency, with a substantial portion extending beyond their agreed-upon terms. Furthermore, 16% of payments exceeding 60 days points to a concerning long-tail trajectory for a segment of their invoices.

Volatility Analysis

While 70% of payments are made within 30 days, the elevated 47% late payment rate introduces significant unpredictability regarding specific invoice settlement reliability. The substantial 30% of payments extending beyond 30 days (14% in 31-60, 16% over 60) signals a degree of volatility and potential cash flow disruption for suppliers. This broad spread in payment timings suggests a moderate risk profile for suppliers relying on highly consistent, on-time payments.

Summary Analysis

CAVERSHAM FINANCE LIMITED presents a mixed payment profile; while the average payment time is acceptable, the significant percentage of late payments and those extending beyond 60 days is a key concern for suppliers. Suppliers should specifically factor in the 47% late rate and the 16% over 60 days when establishing credit terms and managing their cash flow expectations. To mitigate risk, consider setting clear payment terms, closely monitoring outstanding invoices, and potentially implementing stricter credit limits initially.
