Delayed payments shouldn’t be a strategy—but for many corporations, 60- to 120-day terms have become standard practice. In this episode, Chuck & Andrew examine how “interest-free loans” from vendors distort cash flow, inflate prices, and erode trust across supply chains.

 

 

 

Key points you’ll hear:

• From 30 to 90+ days: how payment terms crept up and what it really costs both sides.
• “No P.O., No Dinero”: the administrative maze that slows down innovation and strains relationships.
• Financial ripple effects: debt, staffing risk, and price hikes vendors use to survive long cycles.
• Mindful business playbook: transparent negotiations, tiered pricing for prompt pay, and shared KPIs that align finance with values.
• Accountability in action: public watch-lists like the UK’s Good Business Pay initiative and why naming (not shaming) drives reform.
