A supplier offered better terms if I increase my order — should I take it?

Better terms for a bigger order can lift your margin, but only if you sell the extra volume; finance funds the larger order while you confirm the demand is real. Suppliers often reward larger orders with better pricing or terms. That can genuinely improve your margin — but only if you actually sell the extra volume you commit to.

The volume-for-terms trade

Suppliers often reward larger orders with better pricing or terms. That can genuinely improve your margin — but only if you actually sell the extra volume you commit to.

Fund the larger order

A working-capital facility covers the bigger commitment, repaid as the stock sells. Check the improved terms clear the finance cost on the true-cost-of-borrowing calculator.

Match volume to real demand

Only scale the order to volume you're confident of selling. Better terms on stock that then sits unsold is a false economy — the margin gain is lost to trapped cash.

Frequently asked questions

Should I increase my order to get better supplier terms?

When you'll sell the extra volume and the improved terms clearly beat the finance cost, yes. Fund the larger order with a facility and match the volume to genuine demand.

Can I finance a larger order to unlock better terms?

Yes. A working-capital facility covers the bigger commitment, repaid as the stock sells. Confirm the better terms outweigh the finance cost and that you can actually sell the extra volume.
