Supplier Negotiation Tips for Kirana – Better Rates & Credit

Good supplier terms improve margins and cash flow.

Build Volume

Higher order quantity = better rate. Consolidate orders. Buy full cases instead of loose. Negotiate a volume discount.

Credit Period

Ask for 15–30 days credit. Pay on time to build trust. Longer credit = more working capital for you.

Compare Suppliers

Don’t rely on one. Get quotes from 2–3 wholesalers. Switch if someone offers better price or terms.

Returns & Damages

Clarify: damaged or near-expiry goods – exchange or refund? Put it in writing if possible.
