Abstract
Trade credit is one of the most important financial sources for Spanish firms. It facilitates trade between firms and diversifies their funding sources. One of the main objectives of trade credit is to permit sellers to delay payment to their customers, depending on their financial needs. On the other hand, customers are able to operate with higher liquidity margins.
