Company Review

Trend Analysis

A significant 82% of invoices are consistently settled within 30 days, indicating an efficient and predictable payment cycle. The low 6% late payment rate further supports a positive trajectory in meeting payment obligations reliably.

Volatility Analysis

While highly reliable, there is a minor degree of volatility with 15% of payments extending to 31-60 days and 3% going beyond 60 days. The overall late payment rate of 6% suggests high predictability for on-time settlements for the vast majority of transactions. Suppliers can generally expect consistent payments, with only a small chance of minor extensions.

Summary Analysis

CHELSEA FC HOLDINGS LIMITED presents a very low payment risk profile for potential suppliers, characterized by prompt and consistent payment behavior. Key decision factors include the 21-day average payment and 82% within 30 days, suggesting robust financial health.
