Buyers who treat payment and credit terms as a commercial discipline rather than an afterthought tend to hold margin for longer.
In practice the decision comes down to three numbers: unit cost, freight per unit and the realistic sell through rate for Elite.
Why payment and credit terms matters on the Elite
Standard practice is a deposit with balance before shipment for new accounts.
Where two suppliers look identical on price, payment and credit terms is usually the variable that separates them over a full year.
Established relationships may move to documentary credit or open terms.
