Innovative Model of Supplier's Financing in Business-To-Business Platforms

Abstract

Transfer of B2B commercial transactions to the electronic market is a fact. Moreover, the idea of keeping the whole process – from occurrence of a need to buy, through looking for a supplier, until effecting payment via electronic banking or even getting access to financing – in one place – an innovative electronic market – became a reality. The aim of this paper is to show financing possibilities for businesses via commercial platforms, taking into account terms and conditions that must be met. Particular emphasis was put on verification of possible implementation of solutions in practice and on analysis of domestic and international B2B platforms offering financing for suppliers.
