When you’re applying for a credit card, you need to have good credit. If you are new in business, you probably will not be given a credit line by suppliers who are bigger than you. Some companies on the other hand live on credit. Some even abuse their credit that they end up with accounts payables which they cannot pay. Businesses should find simple ways to improve their accounts payable.
Here are some simple ways to improve accounts payable: first of all, keep a calendar for all your accounts payables. The calendar should list down the payment due date. It is advisable to ask for a longer credit line for your supplier if they do not charge you interest for it. You should also have an accounts receivable calendar. Pay your accounts payable after you have collected your accounts receivable. The earlier you collect your accounts receivable, the better. The later you settle your accounts payable the better. This way you have extra time for your cash flow just in case you are not able to collect on time.
