Read the text:
International trade
Most companies selling goods or services internationally have bigger sales revenues, or turnovers. In most of the cases payments for the supplied goods or services are not made immediately, but after an agreed period. This arrangement, known as trade credit, is frequently used in international business too, especially to large customers- though trusting an unknown new partner might raise problems. If the amounts that a business is waiting to be paid by its customers (know as accounts receivable) are large, trust is a key issue. If you, on the other hand, owe large amounts of money to your suppliers (accounts payable), you must be the trusted one. The account management –including the invoicing (or billing)- of customers in international trade often raises language skills problems too, not only professional ones. One difference between internal and international trade is that in the second case invoices are never settled in cash- and electronic billing is used in most cases.
Exercise:
Put the right term next to its definition
——————————– money received by a company from selling products
——————————– amounts that a business is waiting to be paid
——————————- amounts that a business owes to its suppliers
——————————- producing invoices or bills
—————————– it is when the supplier allows a customer to pay some time after the delivery
