Company Review

Trend Analysis

The average payment time for CHELTENHAM AND GLOUCESTER OMNIBUS COMPANY LIMITED is 37 days, indicating a consistent trend of payments extending beyond standard 30-day terms. A significant majority (67%) of payments fall within the 31-60 day window, establishing a predictable payment pattern generally within two months.

Volatility Analysis

While 98% of payments are received within 60 days, a small percentage (2%) extends beyond this period, coupled with 3% officially designated as late. This indicates relatively low volatility, but suppliers should be aware of a minor, albeit present, risk of payments occasionally exceeding typical credit terms.

Summary Analysis

Based on the data, suppliers can generally expect payment around 37 days, with most transactions settling within a 60-day timeframe. To mitigate the low risk of extended delays, consider establishing payment terms set at 60 days or implementing incentives for prompt payment.
