Best Answer

TRADE CREDIT: Open, short-term (usually 30 to 90 days) deferred payment terms offered by a seller to a buyer as a standard trade practice or to encourage sales. In some trades such as jewelry business, the credit may extend to 180 days or even longer.

DISADVANTAGES

· If repayments are not made by certain deadlines, the business will receive a poor credit history which will be a big blow to any business as they will not trusted in the future if they require any loans, trade credit, credit cards or leasing.

· Only companies with a good credit history will get trade credit and these can often be hard to build up, especially for new businesses.
