The Buy Now, Pay Later model, or BNPL, is traditionally a business-to-consumer model that is gaining traction in the business-to-business domain. Adoption of BNPL in business-to-business scenarios offers benefits like improved cash flow management for buyers, and increased sales for suppliers, often leading to higher order value.

However, this model introduces complexities, including the need for advanced technical platforms for managing such transactions. There are also risks associated with delayed or defaulted payments, and potential accumulation of interest and fees.

As business-to-business entities consider BNPL, they must strike a balance between its potential advantages and its inherent risks and operational challenges.
