Company Review

Trend Analysis

GATELEY PLC demonstrates a strong payment trend with an average payment time of just 18 days, significantly faster than standard 30-day terms. A substantial 88% of invoices are consistently paid within 30 days, indicating efficient and prompt processing. While a small percentage (4%) extends beyond 60 days, the overall trajectory points to very healthy payment practices.

Volatility Analysis

The high percentage of payments within 30 days (88%) suggests strong reliability and predictability for suppliers. Although 15% of payments are technically late, the low average payment time mitigates this concern, indicating most 'late' payments are still made relatively quickly. The 4% of payments exceeding 60 days represents the primary minor volatility and potential risk factor for extended payment cycles.

Summary Analysis

Overall, GATELEY PLC presents a highly favorable payment profile, making them a low-risk client for suppliers. Key decision factors include their average 18-day payment speed and the high likelihood (88%) of receiving payment within 30 days. Suppliers can proceed with confidence, perhaps monitoring any specific invoices that fall into the small "over 60 days" category to mitigate minimal long-tail risk.
