Ownership Transition: Reconfirm Supplier Payment Terms Before the First Order

Medro Advisors · Research and commentary from Don McClain

By Don McClain | Founder & Principal, Medro Advisors

A continuing supplier relationship does not necessarily mean unchanged payment terms. Before the first order under a new owner, confirm who can order, who will be billed and whether deposits, limits or timing have changed. Model any cash-on-delivery requirement separately from the historical purchasing pattern. Do not assume the seller’s informal arrangement transfers. This extends Alianza’s continuity archive into a supplier-side cash check. Medro can help organize the review; actual agreements and provider decisions control.
