Company Review

Trend Analysis

CAVERSHAM TRADING LIMITED demonstrates a strong general trend towards prompt payment, settling 90% of invoices within 30 days and averaging 20 days. This indicates a largely consistent and efficient payment processing cycle for the majority of transactions. However, the 44% late payment rate suggests that while payments are generally quick, a significant portion still misses agreed-upon due dates, highlighting a disconnect between speed and adherence to specific terms.

Volatility Analysis

While 90% of payments within 30 days provides a high degree of predictability for most invoices, the 44% late payment rate introduces significant volatility regarding adherence to contractual terms. The presence of 8% of payments between 31-60 days and 2% over 60 days further indicates a minor but persistent risk of extended delays. Therefore, suppliers face moderate reliability issues concerning exact due date compliance, despite the overall swiftness.

Summary Analysis

Overall, CAVERSHAM TRADING LIMITED is a moderately reliable payer, balancing strong average payment times with a notable tendency for late adherence to due dates. Suppliers should factor in their generally quick payment speed but remain vigilant about the 44% late payment frequency, which could impact cash flow predictability. Risk mitigation could involve negotiating clearer payment terms or implementing proactive follow-up procedures for invoices approaching their due dates.
