Delayed payments
Bikky Khosla | 25 Nov, 2019 |
| Late payment is an old parasitic business practice. While extending credit to customers is an aid to selling, there is also an inevitable element of risk involved, and when it comes to Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), their cash flow can hardly withstand the burden of late payment.
