Trade credit is financing provided by suppliers that allows businesses to receive goods and services without immediately paying, instead paying later. The document discusses a trade credit enabler product that aims to provide local companies access to trade credit from domestic and international suppliers by having them assessed and graded by leading international credit insurers. This would allow evaluation of payment behavior, risk assessment, and recommendation of a credit limit to improve financing opportunities for the company.

1. SUPPLIER CREDIT
For many businesses, trade credit is an essential tool for
financing growth. Trade credit is the credit extended to
you by suppliers who let you buy now and pay later. Any
time you take delivery of materials, equipment or other
valuables without paying cash on the spot, you're using
trade credit.
