In business there are some certain things we must all try to understand in dealing with our customers. There are some people that will always come for credit facilities, credit sales are sales that involves the seller and buyer coming in agreement and the seller releases the goods or services to the buyer, to get paid at a later date as agreed.

This is the way of business hence in accounting systems and records there are special books that are kept specially for credit sales, such as purchase day book and sales day book. They are used to record credit sales. One of the beauty or advantage of selling on credit is that it helps the seller to increase the level of sales. it helps the seller not to retain their goods or service on ground unnecessarily that will lead to tied down capital.


So as they keep selling on credit they will have it at the back of their minds that soon they will be paid, the only down sides of credit sales in is that the buyers sometimes are not always faithful in terms of paying up their debts, and sometimes, it leads to bad debt. So sellers must be careful when giving credit sales opportunities to buyers.

There is no way you won't have credit,l mean people that will buy your products or goods pay like seventy percent then balance up the remaining thirty percent later or probably when they come for another products.This make easy to have good business relationship between the two parties. The credit is like a bound between the company and the client.

Credit sales is been done most times to.encourage patronage. People technically set up margins and leverage where by customers can be attracted to buy a certain quantity of a product or service. They also sometimes design the payment plans in such a way that it becomes very flexible for the customers to pay at some certain times. This is also common with those online loan application companies.


Although as we know credit sales is regarded as goods or services given to a buyer and payments are been received at a later date. This times of facilities is been made available to those who have a right standing with the business organization. As we all know all fingers are not equal hence we need to give some level of considerations to our customers according to their needs. Although we must have some sought of safety measures for our business and set out a guildline that will determine who and who can qualify to access such facilities from us. This is to put our business on a safer side as some customers may not always keep to their promises and this may have a negative effect on our busienss. Hence we must be careful.
