Bill of Exhange (8)
A bill of exchange is an unconditional order in writing, addressed by a person to another, signed,
requiring the person to whom it is addressed to; to pay, on demand. a sum in money or to the order of
a specified person or bearer.
1. A bill drawn that has pre set conditions like maturity, amount & interest.
2. If seller wants the money before maturity he will provide it to a bank.
3. Said bank will pay money to the creditor at a discount, bank will also collect money from the
debtor, charging a discount of their own to the creditor.
Importance of boe In short term financing?
Bills of exchange have a great deal of importance within any kind of short term financing because it
can act to the aid or a debtor who might not have liquid cash at hand, in the short term he can
purchase goods against a bill and pay back at the maturity of the bill or before it. There is no interest
to be paid (in most cases) and this kind of short term financing is generally unsecured, has minimal
paper work. Extremely useful for people who carry out international trade. This can be endorsed to a
third new party altogether.
In a different scenario where the creditor might require the money before the set date of maturity he
might offer up the bill to the debtor at a discount or endorse it o the bank or a third party altogether for
cash.
Which type of short term financing is most suitable for SME’s?
Trade credits and short term loans are the most suitable type of financing for SME’s because of their
efficiency towards satisfying the short term monetary requirements of an SME.
Trade cred is more efficient toward the same because it has no interest that needs to be paid to the
creditor, however the most important factor of whether or not the enterprise will acquire said finance
is their credit worthiness, which is the belief of the creditor about the repayment of the debt by the
debtor. Another factor is that the creditor might be willing to give a cash discount to the debtor if he
pays the sum in advance.
Secondly the short term loans which can be secured or unsecured depend on the number of assets that
are at the disposal of the debtor, the more security that can be offered by an sme, the higher the
probability that they can receive finances. Some researchers have also found that the money that is
borrowed from an instirution is put to use more efficiently because of the fact that the bank keeps
track of the uutilisation of the money.
The financing carried out through friends and family on the other hand is also useful for sme’s ,
however this is more difficult to acquire and often has high interest rates.
This question requires an answer,now more than ever because of our PM Narendra Modi making a
conscious attempt to focus on start ups and do slowly but surely gather a status of an SME because of
which it is of utmost essence that we can gather significant info about what is the best kind of short
term finance that is to be acquired by sme’s,while on one hand I think that no one type of the media
of financing can be selected without having more knowledge of the circumstances under which the
enterprise is working under some Important factors can be considered before making such a decision.
What is the best and most viable option of short term financing?
According to me the best and most viable option within the realm of short term financing is a bill of
exchange and trade credits because of the low interest that they both have, not only this they can both
be used by the 2 parties even if there is transnational trade being carried out btw the 2 parties, both are
bemeficial to both the parties because the terms that need to negotiated are done so before the parties
enter into any agreement with each other, these include the maturity, interest, mode of payment, cash
discounts. However within a trade credit there is little security for the creditor in a case where the
debtor does not hold up his end of the deal, however the bill of exchange the bill can be endorsed and
it is a legal agreement btw the 2 parties and is a legal bind.
