To succeed in business follow the statement buy low sell high. That in essence is what business is all about. Look for the best suppliers. Get the best terms. Cut the middle man. That way you can give your clients/customers the best deal in town. When you fine this supplier take care of that relationship. Pay your supplier on time as scheduled.  Make it AAA priority in your payment schedule. Pay them in full. If they give you term payments, pay accounts payable payment terms in full and as scheduled.

Some suppliers will give you lots of leeway when paying them. When they give you lenient payment terms pay them on time. A missed or late payment will raise a red flag with regards to your account. They might call in you debt. If they do this, it might create cash flow problems. That’s why it’s best to study your accounts payable payment terms. Make sure that you don’t miss or delay payments to key suppliers.
