Trade Credit 101 | Back to basics

Episode notes

Trade credit is a critical but often overlooked part of managing business risk, sitting at the intersection of sales, finance, and cash flow. In this episode, we explore how trade credit has evolved into a strategic lever for organizations navigating today’s complex risk environment. Eefje Van Craen , Lead Strategist for Trade Credit at Moody’s, joins host Alex Pillow to unpack what trade credit really means in a B2B context and why it plays a central role in customer onboarding and risk management. They discuss how trade credit has shifted from a back-office control function to a forward-looking, data-driven discipline that supports growth while protecting cash flow.
