Frequently asked questions

Why do I need a credit application for my wholesale electronic market?

A credit application helps you assess the financial stability of buyers before extending credit. It reduces the risk of late payments or defaults, which is especially important in high-volume wholesale electronic markets where transactions occur quickly and often involve large sums.

What information should I request from applicants?

You should request business legal name, structure, years in operation, NAICS code, annual revenue, trade references, bank reference, and the desired credit limit. This information gives you a snapshot of the buyer's financial health and payment history with other suppliers.

Can I use this credit application for both agents and brokers?

Yes, the application is designed to be flexible for both wholesale electronic markets and agents/brokers. It includes fields for trade references and credit limits that are relevant to both types of entities, and you can customize the terms to fit your specific business model.
