A plumber I know counts a large snack food company as one of his clients. They just changed his payment time from 60 to 120 days. He asked me if i thought they might be in trouble. I said, doubtful. I said, what if you refuse those terms. He said, they'll get someone else. I said, okay, then just keep smiling and jack your rates up enough to cover your cost of capital and throw in a little extra for the aggravation. now when companies start extending out their payables from 60 to 120 days at the lowest possible level... kind of makes you wonder.
