It is essentially in most cases an interest free loan. The cash outflow temporarily saved can be employed to meet operational funding requirements. It is also commonly used to pay down debt on interest bearing loans and to reduce the monthly or daily balance on which interest is calculated and business debt collection.
Stretching the accounts payable, a firm effectively extends the period of this interest free loan thereby increasing the value of the benefits it receives from the use of Company Credit Check trade credit.
