Trade credit is the act of obtaining funds by delaying payment to suppliers, who typically grant 30 days to pay.The cost of trade credit may be some interest chargethat the supplier charges on the unpaid balance.More often, it is in the form of a lost discount that would be given to firms who pay earlier.Credit has a cost. That cost may be passed along to thecustomer as higher prices, (furniture sales,Office Max),or borne by the seller as lower profits, or some of both.
