Trade credit extended by suppliers
Trade credit extended by suppliers represents an external short-term source of capital where goods are delivered immediately and payment is settled at a designated later date, directly matching the sole trader's short-term stock replenishment need.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the financial requirement
The sole trader requires short-term external funding specifically for inventory purchase.
Categorizing sources of capital by ownership source (internal vs external) and duration (short-term vs long-term) helps identify valid financing options.
2
Evaluate potential capital sources available to a sole proprietor
Trade credit provides short-term inventory supply on deferred payment terms from external creditors.
Sole traders cannot issue corporate securities or introduce partners without altering their business legal entity.
