Finance Information

How to offer 30 day terms the right way.


by: Marco Terry
What is trade credit?

One of the major differences between user and commercial transactions is that most, if not all, user transactions are paid in cash or by credit card at the time of sale. Because of this, most user businesses ne'er have to worry just about extending credit to a client and can run their operations on an "all cash" basis. This allows them to focus on their core competencies because they don't have to carry slow paying Accounts Assets and go through the expense of collection on such accounts.

However, commercial transactions are different. Most clients ask their suppliers to deliver services instantly and then to invoice them for the work, collectible 30 days later (also acknowledged as offering net-30). In effect, clients ask their suppliers provide them with "trade credit" for 30 days. Though suppliers don't like offering trade credit, most have accepted it as an industry standard and have knowing how to operate and live with it. In fact, several suppliers have even as down how to offer trade credit and use it to better position their companies with leading clients. Large responsible customers, such as the government or large companies, wish normally demand trade credit as part of their contract negotiations. Several examples of entities that ask for 30 to 60 day payment terms are:

o Fortune 500 companies
o Large and medium eightpenny companies
o State government agencies
o Federal government agencies

On the positive side, providing trade credit to the proper clients can be a tool that allows your institution to win important contracts and position it for growth. However, providing credit is besides risky and can erode the company's cash position if it is misused. Furthermore, offering trade credit to less-than-creditworthy clients can burden the institution with bad fiscal obligation and affect its growth prospects. Because of this, business owners must walk a fine line reconciliation their desires to grow their businesses with the necessities of offering credit to their customers.

Keys to providing trade credit with success
The better way to minimize the risk of providing trade credit to a client is to perform a credit analysis on him. Though no credit analysis is 100% perfect, they allow business owners to do an abreast of decision on whom to issue credit to. Here are the three key points to devising a credit analysis.

o Have the client fill out a credit application

Have all your customers that want credit fill out a simple credit application. This wish allow you to have all relevant facts in a single document. The application should ask for the following information:
1. Institution structure
2. Banking relationships
3. Commercial references
4. Provider references

o Check bank and provider references

In their credit applications most clients wish only list banking and commercial relationships that wish position them in a favorable light - however - it is always a nice idea to check on all of them anyway. Banks wish only be able to confirm that the client has an account with them. Provider references, however, may provide critical information regarding the clients' payment habits.

o Check commercial credit reports

There are a number of companies that sell commercial credit reports on businesses. As opposed to user credit reports that require special permissions, commercial credit reports can be obtained for any business without asking for prior permission. Reports vary in their level of detail and accuracy and can be obtained for as little as a few dollars. However, all reports wish include important information to help your credit department do a decision. Much elaborate reports wish cost a few hundred dollars. You can receive credit reports from the following companies:
a) Dun & Anne bradstreet (www.dnb.com)
b) Experian (www.experian.com)
c) Credit.net (www.credit.net)

Doing a credit analysis on your clients wish allow you to determine how more - if any - trade credit you can give them. Clients that do not have a favorable credit analysis should be placed on a COD (Cash On Delivery) basis, at least initially, to reduce the risk of non-payments.

The challenges of offering trade credit
One of the main drawbacks of providing trade credit is that it can create a cash flow problem for the institution that offers it. Large suppliers with adequate cash cushions in the bank can easily afford to offer credit. However, small suppliers with lean bank accounts normally find that offering credit wish drain their cash resources and create fiscal challenges. It is not uncommon for small businesses to find themselves with a cash flow gap after offering trade credit to their larger clients. This gap is created by the fact that the company's Accounts Due account is strong piece the company's bank accounts and cash position are weak. The cash flow gap places the business at risk of missing payroll and fiscal obligation payments. It besides prevents it from following new opportunities because they don't have the funds to buy resources or hire the necessary staff.

Bridging the "cash flow" gap

The biggest plus that most new businesses have, aside from their instrumentality and intangibles (e.g. employees), is their unpaid invoices or Accounts Receivable. Accounts Due is an plus that can be quickly born-again into cash by exploitation a fiscal tool called factoring. Factorization allows a business to sell the fiscal rights to their Accounts Due to a third party, called a Factor. As part of the sale, the factor instantly advances a large portion of the cash value of the unpaid invoices to the business. The business can then use this cash infusion to strengthen its cash position and meet its obligations. In the meantime, the factor, which now owns the invoices, waits to get paid by the customer. Factorization enables business owners to source their trade credit function to the factor and to turn their companies into the equivalent of an "all cash" business. If you want to discover more just about factorization and how it can be used to grow your business, please see our white paper titled "Factoring: Cash on Demand for your business without fiscal obligation or loans"
