. Trade credit



4
         Another possible solution to the short term cash flow problem is to try to find ways of delaying payments to suppliers. To achieve this, a business will try to discuss trade credit terms with its suppliers.

         When trade credit terms can be arranged, the business can order materials from suppliers and perhaps process them into finished goods for sale before it has to pay for them.

The major advantage of trade credit is that it is interest free. Some suppliers who give trade credit will also offer cash discounts to buyers who pay early.
