href=\"https:\/\/www.sage.com\/en-ca\/blog\/why-you-should-be-doing-cash-flow-analysis\/\">Managing your cash flow<\/a> well at this time is really important. After all, you need to ensure you\u2019re able to pay your suppliers and keep your business moving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One key way to do that and keep your head above water is to negotiate payment terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is essentially how and when you pay the companies that supply you, in particular the amount of time that you have in which to pay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This process normally begins when you put in an order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For most orders, especially where small items are concerned, you just pay the full amount up front. But in other cases, you\u2019ll have days, weeks or even months before you have to pay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the item has to be specially created for you, and it\u2019s more expensive, you\u2019ll probably pay in installments. This might start with a deposit, followed by further payments before the final amount is paid on delivery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most companies have standard terms that their clients don\u2019t bother to negotiate. But, in these difficult times in particular, it\u2019s worth studying them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Think about how you might be able to negotiate a better deal for yourself, with more time before you have to make part or full payment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"terms\">Terms on an invoice to be aware of<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To check when and how much you\u2019ve got to pay, look at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sage.com\/en-ca\/blog\/free-invoice-templates-freelance\/\">terms stated on an invoice<\/a>. Here are some examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>PIA stands for Payment In Advance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Net 7 means payment is required seven days after the invoice date.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Net 10 means payment 10 days after the invoice date.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>COD stands for Cash on Delivery.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>EOM means End of the Month.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"pay\">Pay early\u2026 or pay later<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In some cases, suppliers will offer a discount for payment that is ahead of the agreed date, so it\u2019s worth making this offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the impact of the pandemic, an increasing amount of people have seen invoices being paid at later dates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, though, you can negotiate with suppliers to pay later, spreading your expenditure and helping with cash flow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"cash\">Cash flow challenges<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sage.com\/en-ca\/blog\/why-you-should-be-doing-cash-flow-analysis\/\">Cash flow<\/a> is currently under strain as incomes fall, especially in the retail, hospitality, travel and health and fitness sectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although online sales have been buoyant, those with a strong brick and mortar presence have also really felt the pinch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alongside this, some suppliers, facing their own challenges, have increased their prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Added costs, affecting cash flow as well, include slow production lines due to social distances and staff absence caused by self-isolation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With supply, production and sales all being hammered, it\u2019s hardly surprising that profits and, particularly in the short term, cash flow have also suffered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"why\">Why negotiating payment terms can help<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Negotiating better payment terms means you can keep more cash in your business and improve liquidity, so you\u2019ll be in a better place to pay bills and avoid having to go overdrawn or seek loans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Better cash flow can also mean a better credit rating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It reduces your risk, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve paid 100% up front for a product or service and the supplier goes under, you\u2019ve lost out unless you have some type of insurance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Paying minimum installments before delivery gives you more leverage if, for instance, you want changes to a product that is being designed or created especially for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"single-cta gated-content\">\n\t<div class=\"single-cta__positioner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"single-cta__wrapper has-dark-background-color\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"single-cta__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"single-cta__title h3\">Get paid fast<\/h2>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-cta__description\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Say goodbye to chasing payments and hello to fast cash flow.<\/p>\n<p>Our expert advice and customizable templates will help you get paid on time, every time.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a\n\t\t\t\t\t\thref=\"#gate-b25b05fa-0b80-4530-b114-c50266a0f9c6\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"single-cta__button button button--primary\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t>Download now<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-cta__downloads\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t1,617 readers have downloaded this guide\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1440\" height=\"810\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sage.com\/en-ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2022\/04\/GettyImages-1035512574-1440x810.jpg\" class=\"single-cta__image\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sage.com\/en-ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2022\/04\/GettyImages-1035512574-1440x810.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 48em) 33vw, 100vw\" \/>\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how\">How to negotiate payment terms<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a number of ways in which you can negotiate better a better deal on the time you have to pay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Prioritize who you negotiate with<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t try to negotiate with every supplier at once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not only will this be too time-consuming and distracting when you should be focusing on your business, but you\u2019ll be able to learn from each negotiation and apply those lessons to the next one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Start the process by prioritizing suppliers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Who do you spend most money with? Identifying these companies is a useful exercise in itself because it\u2019s a good way of checking to see if there are alternative suppliers who could give you a better deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you do find that you spend quite a considerable sum with one company, you\u2019ll be in a better position to negotiate with them about amending and extending your time in which you have to pay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Set payment arrangements early<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s a good idea to make payment arrangements part of the negotiations with a new supplier alongside price and delivery timescales, rather than just accepting their terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Larger companies are normally in a better position to agree to longer payment periods, partly because of their scale, but also because they\u2019re more likely to have 90- or 120-day terms themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whoever you\u2019re talking to, be clear that you just want to help with your cash flow and, assuming this is the case, reassure the other side that you\u2019re not in financial difficulties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Be honest<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One important question that any company that supplies you with products and services might ask is: \u201cWhy should I do this?\u201d Or \u201cwhat\u2019s in it for me?\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Simply threatening to use an alternative will obviously not improve the relationship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead, you can explain honestly that you\u2019re looking to help your cash flow but also point out that you might, as a result, be able to spend more with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You could also offer to promote them to other companies and potential new clients through your professional networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Is there a contractual arrangement that you could negotiate whereby you commit to making a given number of purchases or spending a certain sum with them over a certain term in return for a longer period in which to pay?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Compromise<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As with any negotiation, be prepared to compromise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You might, for instance, ask to increase your normal 30-day payment terms to 90 days but end up doing on a deal on 45 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do your research<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Carry out some research into the typical timescales for invoice settlement in the sector that your supplier operates in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Knowing the average for the sector and being able to compare it to your offer is not only persuasive, but makes clear that you\u2019re serious about your negotiation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Making sure you\u2019re briefed on your supplier\u2019s business sector generally \u2013 the challenges, average profitability and typical working practices \u2013 will not only flatter your supplier but will help you to identify ways in which you could help them as a compensation for longer payment terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019ve agreed a longer timescale for payments, ensure you do comply with it by arranging a reminder or setting up an automatic payment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If a supplier has agreed to give you more time to pay, any late or missed payments will provoke ill feeling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"final\">Final thoughts on negotiating payment terms<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As with almost every aspect of business, communication is key. Finding the right person to talk to at a supplier, speaking their language and knowing what their pain points are is essential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make it clear that you\u2019re rolling out this review of when invoices are paid across all of your suppliers, and reassure them that they\u2019re not being singled out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Offer to help them in return for their cooperation if you can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remind them that this is standard practice, and put it into context by mentioning when you last had a review \u2013 if at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Choose the right medium of communication \u2013 a phone call might work better than an email out of the blue. And don\u2019t forget to follow up in writing, of course, with the details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Invite a response and make it clear that you want to have an honest and open conversation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Renegotiating your payment terms requires research and preparation, and you\u2019ll have to be ready to negotiate over days or weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the reward in terms of your company\u2019s cash flow, profitability and resilience will make it a worthwhile exercise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Editor\u2019s note: This article was first published in July 2020 on Sage Advice UK, and has been updated for relevance.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"single-cta\">\n\t<div class=\"single-cta__positioner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"single-cta__wrapper has-dark-background-color\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"single-cta__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"single-cta__title h3\">Subscribe to the Sage Advice Newsletter<\/h2>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-cta__description\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"cta-content__title\">Get a roundup of our best business advice in your inbox every month.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a\n\t\t\t\t\t\thref=\"#gate-8949a954-88b2-43bb-8b8a-77c53eb34350\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"single-cta__button button button--primary\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t>Subscribe<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1440\" height=\"810\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sage.com\/en-ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2022\/04\/GettyImages-1073797282-1440x810.jpg\" class=\"single-cta__image\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sage.com\/en-ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2022\/04\/GettyImages-1073797282-1440x810.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 48em) 33vw, 100vw\" \/>\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many small businesses are facing the challenge of rising costs.
