    In the last article we discussed cutting expenses on the income side. Let's go to the opposite side of your business now - cutting costs on what you pay out. The first thing that comes to most people minds is discounts on what they buy. Trade Discounts are reductions to your bills for paying early. They are often written as a percentage of the total sale (not including shipping or sales tax) if the invoice is paid within a fixed time period. I am sure you have seen 2/10,net30 on invoices which means if you pay within 10 days of the invoice date you may take a 2% discount or pay the entire amount within 30 days.

Even vendors who do not ordinarily offer discounts should be asked as the prospect of an early payment is always welcome. But if discounts or favorable terms are not available you can improve your cash flow by not paying early. You would, of course, always pay on time but as we discussed in the last article, cash produces income.

To make the sale and keep money flowing in their business, vendors will sometimes extend terms beyond the 30 day standard and often with no interest.
