A supplier is defined as the person or organisation that provides a product or service to another business.

Finding a reliable and competitively-priced supplier is vital to the success of your business.

To build strong business relationships with your suppliers, through good negotiation, collaboration, management and performance review skills.

 

The terms that you negotiate with your supplier need to be based on:

  1. the way that you pay them – bank draft, commercial bill paid for by bank, foreign currency

  2. potential costs - administration, taxation, transport, general payments and transactions

  3. possible risks - late payment to supplier, or faulty, late or undelivered goods

Once all the information is gathered, you are required to get an approval from your management.
