Company Review

Trend Analysis

GREATER GABBARD OFFSHORE WINDS LIMITED demonstrates a strong trend of prompt payments, with an average payment time of 20 days and 97% of invoices settled within 30 days. While 30% of payments are technically late, their rapid average payment suggests these late payments are typically only marginally past due and not indicative of a deteriorating trajectory.

Volatility Analysis

Payment reliability is very high, with 97% of invoices paid within 30 days and no payments extending beyond 60 days, indicating low volatility in payment speed. While 30% of payments are registered as late, the minimal proportion entering the 31-60 day window (3%) and zero beyond 60 days suggests predictable short delays rather than significant financial risk.

Summary Analysis

Given the average 20-day payment time and 97% of invoices settled within 30 days, GREATER GABBARD OFFSHORE WINDS LIMITED is a low-risk payer for suppliers. While 30% of payments are technically late, the absence of payments over 60 days suggests minimal risk, and suppliers can proceed with confidence, perhaps by monitoring payment due dates closely.
