Working Capital Management Interview Question:

What is Trade credit?

Submitted by: Administrator

Trade credit is an arrangement in which a company buy goods or services without making immediate cash payment. If a company buys raw materials from the suppliers on credit basis, it gets the raw material for utilization immediately with the facility to make the payment at the delayed time. By accepting the delayed payment, the suppliers of raw material finance the requirement of working capital. It is an essential element of capitalization in an operating business because it can reduce the capital investment required to operate the business if it is managed properly.
