Trade credit

Terms

Trade credit, also referred to as commercial credit, is a type of credit that a seller extends to a buyer in business-to-business transactions.

It is distinguished by a delayed payment period in relation to the sale. If the buyer pays promptly after the sale, they may receive a discount. However, if payment is deferred, the full payment is required.

General conditions for obtaining trade credit:

The credit limit is determined individually for each counterparty after analyzing their financial situation.

The credit line amount depends on the size of the trade cooperation and the possible presentation of collateral for our receivables.

Trade credit is granted only to customers with positive financial assessments.

An assessment is conducted to determine the level of financial risk associated with trading with new and returning customers. The rating depends on whether the customer will be able to fulfill their financial obligations within the agreed timeframe.
