I mean cmon, you’re literally delaying payment for a long time. How does that benefit any business?
In: 29
Those businesses usually go through a 3rd party who fronts the cost of the item and takes on the small loan. The business will receive the money instantly while the 3rd party receives the delayed payment plus interest.
It’s not just a sale that might not have happened otherwise, it also ensures them income spread out which might make their taxes more even if they have good years and bad ones. Interest is also a fair point, but if they charge less than inflation, we shouldn’t really consider that.
