Unfortunately, I am not in agreement on this issue.  My division offers a 3% discount.  I am very aware about how important it is to pay ALL our vendors in a timely fashion.  If any vendor has had or is currently having problems receiving payment from our company please call me at 937-296-9585 ext 104 or email me at tcollins@abcheck.com.  In over 10 years of business there have  been very few occassions where we could not pay a vendor.  This non payment was due to incorrect or extremely late work.  That being said. At no point do I or anyone have to agree to a discount on an invoice.  As with most business(retail aside) transactions a discount(usually 2%) is offered if the money is exchanged hands in 10 business days or less.  The 3% offer is an offer that does not have to be agreed upon.  Unfortunately larger companies have accounting procedures in place and this means most invoices are paid in 30-45days.  I completely agree that invoices not paid in this time frame are unacceptable.  Most of my clients pay in 45-60 days.  Even though some of these invoices become late the fact is I receive a check roughly every 30 days.  Not too bad if you research other industries.   Once again if anyone is having payment issues I would appreciate a call.

Thanks and have a great day!
