Aspects to be considered:1) Character - Whether the new customer will live up to their stated principles.2) Capital - Working capital requirements and debt structure of the new customer.3) Capacity - Capacity of the new customer to pay vendors.
This can be determined by the calculation of the average receivable period and average payable period.4) Conditions - How the new customer's products or services stack up in the light of the present economic conditions?5) Collateral - Whether the new customer will be able to provide adequate security (e.g.
bank guarantee) if the risk is perceived as high.
