Can we negotiate with vendors to get better terms that will slow cash disbursements? Is there anything to negotiate or does your company have any leverage? 2. Is it a good business practice to simply pay vendors late to slow down cash disbursements? Why so or not? How late? 3. Can a business defer spending on some costs for awhile to make ends meet? I do not mean to pay a vendor late , but instead to put off buying goods or services. What are some reasonable choices that will make a difference in the short term? >Is there a downside risk in putting off to a later day to spend on some costs? Like what - got example of a cost you would not postpone to a later day?
