I. Discussion topics.
Discuss the following questions with your group-mates:
Does the idea of 'buying now and paying later' appeal to you? Give your reasons.
How, in your opinion, can a company be sure about the customers' financial stability when granting a credit?
II. Reading.
Credit involves the purchasing and receiving of goods without immediate payment. Being able to ‘buy now and pay later’ enables a purchaser to acquire desired goods even when cash is not currently available. Allowing individuals and businesses to buy on credit can increase a company's volume of sales. Therefore, buying on credit have become a common and essential business practice.
Of course, before granting credit, a company must be reasonably sure of the customer's financial stability, his / her ability and willingness to pay. These are verified by the exchange of credit information. Five types of letters are involved in credit correspondence:
applications for credit
inquiries about credit worthiness
responses about credit worthiness
letters granting credit
letters refusing credit
APPLICATIONS
Business account applications are usually made by letter. A new business, for example, may wish to place a first order with a supplier or manufacturer and establish a credit line or open account. A letter of this kind should include credit references (such as banks’ and other businesses’ that have extended credit).
