if you do $10,000 month with the supply house, you'll save $200 by paying net 10. If you put that money in a high yield checking account (like ING Direct) you'll earn 4% on that money. So, you'd lose approx $200 by paying the supplier NET 10.
just a thought.
this is under the assumption that you are billing and collecting in order to pay this bill. Not that you continually have $10,000 in the bank to pay and wait for your money. But even then, leave the $10,000 in the bank, and pay at the end of the month. Then if someone is a late pay, you are not stretched.
