What you'll learn
- A defence supplier that wins an order and is paid an advance would seem to have solved its financing problem before production begins.
- But a customer that pays in advance may want security for its money.
- It can ask for a guarantee that the advance will be repaid if the supplier fails to perform, and for further guarantees that the bid is serious, that the contract will be executed and that defects will be remedied during the warranty period.
