DanTech takes particular pride in settling payments to suppliers, this we do on a 21-30 day basis after invoice so that our suppliers are not financing our business. We hope that our customers respect our ethics and settle bills in the same way. Asking for extended credit is one matter, taking it without asking damages cashflow.
