50/50 vs Net-30
50/50 (deposit + balance): protects supplier cash flow, faster scheduling. Net-30: easier for buyer accounting, requires credit approval and trust.
Why 50/50 is the default
A 50% deposit at PO + 50% before dispatch is the industry standard for new B2B accounts. It funds materials and machine time, blocks calendar slots, and shares risk fairly. Strike-off and pre-production samples are billed against the deposit. We use 50/50 for all first-time orders and orders above EUR 25k.
When Net-30 is available
For repeat customers (3+ paid invoices on time) we offer Net-30 against signed framework agreement, valid VAT ID and either bank reference or credit insurance. Net-30 unlocks order-on-account workflows and procurement-system integration. Late payment auto-suspends new POs.
