    You’d be surprised just how common ‘breaches of contract’ like this are, especially among SMEs.

    If the supplier knows that the customer has a tendency to pay invoices EOM +35 rather than EOM+30, it’s not worth the cost to pursue legally - especially as doing so would risk them losing a client.

    The first secret of business is to collect money as quickly as possible, and avoid paying out as long as possible, to profit off the arbitrage.

        Total stab in the dark, but I assume you’re somewhere in continental Europe?

        Seems like your businesses have a lot more scruples, morals and ethics than ours do!

          well not continental, but yeah. i wouldn’t want to work for a company without some sort of moral code. it’s all written down it our bylaws how we should act towards customers, governments, prospects, etc. to not break any laws and always compete fairly.
