Best Answer

A creditor - is anyone who has supplied goods or services to a company (but has not yet been paid). For example... A retailer orders 100 bottles of wine... Once the wholesaler despatches the wine - they become a creditor - until the retailer pays for the consignment. The wine remains the property of the wholesaler until the retailer's payment clears the banking system.
