According to Chem-Dry's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the company's accounts payable in 2021 was $1,046,000. This figure is part of the consolidated financial statements that include Chem-Dry, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

Accounts payable represents the short-term liabilities Chem-Dry owes to its suppliers and vendors for goods and services received but not yet paid for. A higher accounts payable balance could indicate that Chem-Dry is taking longer to pay its bills or is negotiating more extended payment terms with its suppliers. Conversely, a lower balance might suggest efficient cash management or shorter payment cycles.

Prospective franchisees should consider the trend in Chem-Dry's accounts payable over the three years presented (2021-2023) in conjunction with other financial metrics to assess the company's overall financial stability and working capital management. Reviewing these figures can provide insights into how Chem-Dry manages its short-term obligations and its relationships with suppliers, which can indirectly affect franchisees.
