What is the supplier's financing?
Also known as the financing of the supplier or the supplier loan, the financing of suppliers is a situation where the goods or services are delivered to the buyer by means of payment conditions that are postponed. The financing of this type is often used in the export of goods by the buyer based in countries other than where the supplier is located. In most cases, the expansion of this type of financing is insured by an export credit agency, which is reasonably certain to honor the Buyer's ability to honor the terms of the purchase contract.
There are a number of benefits to finance suppliers. For the buyer, there is an opportunity to receive goods and services now and pay later means that before the payment is due to the next sale. This means that it is possible to receive products, sell them to clients and pay for goods generated by these sales. As a result, the buyer does not have real pocket expenses related to the purchase and does not bind his other fin sources in the meantime.
Sellers can also benefit from using suppliers' financing. By extending this form of loan to the buyer, the supplier can move a larger amount of product in a shorter period of time. Because the transaction is insured, the seller knows that the payment will be provided in a given period of time. This makes it much easier to project the level of income and ensure the finances to ensure that the company continues to work, and that the company is likely to show profits for a certain period of time.
While the financing of suppliers is usually associated with the export of goods and services, the same concept is often used in many domestic environments. Suppliers of everything from office machines and stocks to raw materials may decide to expand the supplier's credit to approved customers. The amount of the extended loan is usually based on the client's total credit. In situations where the client demonstrates consistent responsible use of the supplier's financingThe supply line line, which further promotes customer loyalty and eventually benefits the operation of the supplier.
It is important to realize that the financing of suppliers can be canceled at the discretion of the supplier. This is likely to happen if the customer consistently does not meet the contractual conditions associated with the extension of the loan, or when the Buyer's circumstances change so significantly that the supplier considers the level of risk associated with the loan as too high. Suppliers usually inform the buyer in advance by changing the agreement on the supplier's financing, which allows the buyer to take other measures to pay any current balance and look for other ways to buy in the future.
