Talk:Trade credit

Add Definitions!
This article should start with a definition of trade credit! Instead, it starts with the Wal-Mart example, which tells nothing about how a trade credit is characterized. The article should build up a definition and illustrations of trade credit in a more systematic way. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.171.104.93 (talk) 17:03, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

Discounts
should a section be added on trade discounts, as well as the implied interest cost of foregoing a trade credit discount?

i.e. - if the terms are 1/10 n/30, then the terms imply an interest rate of approximately 1% for 20 days (30-10). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.80.98.50 (talk) 13:52, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

Info
Is there any information on what the most common form of trade credit is in various industries? (eg net 15 vs net 30 vs net 60 etc).--Drucci 06:24, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
