Which of the following would positively affect a buyer’s company cash flow?

Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation (from CIPS L4M2 – Financial Management in Procurement)

Positive cash flow arises when money flows into the business:

A. Bank loan → immediate inflow of cash.

D. Customer pays upon purchase → quick revenue collection, improving liquidity.

The other options either delay or reduce available cash (outflows).
