A. Trade credit can help you grow your business. When a business is able to purchase goods or services with trade credit, it frees up cash flow, making it a source of short-term financing. This practice allows the business to potentially expand its market or customer base without the negative impact of running out of cash, potentially putting them out of business. Many trade credit agreements incentivize paying early with a discount, so the business is able to decide whether to pay early at a cheaper price or to take longer to pay at full price — based on both money coming into the business and other expenses that need to be paid.
