Company Review

Trend Analysis

CROWN CHICKEN LIMITED exhibits a very strong payment trend, with an average payment time of just 5 days. A remarkable 98% of payments are settled well within 30 days, indicating consistent and swift adherence to payment obligations. This trajectory suggests a highly efficient and reliable payment process for the vast majority of transactions.

Volatility Analysis

Despite the excellent average, a 15% late payment rate introduces a degree of unpredictability for a minority of invoices, requiring suppliers to manage expectations for some transactions. Specifically, 2% of payments extend beyond 30 days, with 1% becoming significantly overdue past 60 days. This indicates suppliers face a small but tangible risk of experiencing prolonged payment delays on a few invoices.

Summary Analysis

Overall, CROWN CHICKEN LIMITED presents a highly favorable payment profile, characterized by exceptionally fast average payment times for most suppliers. Suppliers can generally expect prompt payment; however, the 15% late rate, coupled with the small percentage exceeding 60 days, suggests a need for cautious monitoring of specific invoices. It is advisable for suppliers to clarify payment terms for any transactions that may fall into the "late" category to mitigate potential minor disruptions.
