As far as business is concerned there are two types of sales. We normally have cash sales and credit sales. A cash sale is made when the customer pays for a product or a service from a seller. A credit sale is made when the seller agrees to sell the product to the customer and pay for it at a later date.
So there are some factors that the seller needs to keep into account before giving credit to customers.
Some of these are:
The seller must know the credit worthiness of the buyer - This is easily known by reviewing the credit history of the buyer.
The seller must also determine the capability of the buyer towards repaying the credit - Here the seller must be in a position to give a credit to a person that can afford to repay the credit.
Another point to consider is the current economic situation and climate if it can allow the business to offer the sale in credit.
