    Most people hate selling on credit because they are afraid they wont pay them back after collecting the goods
    And thats the mistake most entrepreneurs make nowadays
    If you are an upcoming business owner
    And you are selling your goods on creditand the people doesn’t pay on time
    How are you going to get the money to order
    For another one?
    Or how are you going to make your own profit?
    Just imagine that.
    All your capital, time ,and effort gone to waste like that

    If the business owner keep selling on credit the business will fall.

    But it’s not an easy thing, I mean for you not to sell in credits can take away more customers from you because a lot people buy things with those offering sell on credit for them.

    I can remember when I sell cement after my secondary school, my boss told me not to sell his cement on credit, but it wasn’t an easy thing for me, because a lot of people didn’t want to know whether you have been told not to sell in credits 

    If you continue to sell on credit, that means no capital again for the business.

    It’s true that selling on credit can attract more customers and lead to increased sales since it allows customers to purchase products or services even if they don’t have immediate cash on hand but there is disadvantage when selling on credit.

    One of it include strain relationship, this is dangerous because when your customers keep making late payments or disputes can strain relationships with customers and it can potentially harm the business’s reputation.

    Hope this help.

    If a business owner keeps selling on credit, they risk running into cash flow problems because they don’t get paid immediately. Many customers might delay or avoid paying, which can hurt the business’s ability to buy stock or cover expenses. That’s why most shop owners avoid credit it’s safer to get money upfront to keep things running smoothly. Selling on credit can work, but only if there’s trust and clear payment terms; otherwise, it can lead to losses and stress.

    If a business owner keeps selling their products on credit, they would end up not being able to restock their shops or buy raw materials for production. Business makes sales to recycle cash back into production and take the profits. But when you sell on credits and the bulk of your running capital is in the hands of customers that bought on credit, you can’t restock and the business would close down.
