E-commerce on Supplier Credit (Net-30/60)

Sell inventory before you pay for it — grow on supplier float.

Overview

Establish Net-30 or Net-60 payment terms with suppliers/manufacturers (requires a few paid orders + trade references). Order inventory, sell it via Amazon/Shopify/wholesale before payment is due — supplier float funds your growth. Combined with 0% business cards, can scale to $500k+ revenue with near-zero working capital.
