Generally internally known as business, externally known as trade. Commerce can also be understood as a medium of exchange of money to realize the circulation of goods commercial economic activities.

At present, in China's market economy, the proportion of trade enterprises is increasing day by day, more and more trade enterprises on the economic stage, playing an increasingly prominent role. The most familiar business industry is the wholesale and retail industry, as far as credit institutions are concerned, business enterprises occupy an important position in their target customers. Wholesaling refers to the activities of wholesalers selling daily necessities and means of production in bulk to wholesale and retail establishments as well as other enterprises, institutions and organizations, while retailing mainly deals with the sale of odd commodities. The commerce industry is in the circulation link of social reproduction and a vital link in the whole economic value chain, which is a bridge between manufacturing enterprises and direct or indirect consumers, and is the ? blood and nerves of the modern economy?

In recent years, China's economic growth has slowed down, consumption upgrading, the rise of new shopping methods such as network and mobile, which has had a huge impact on the physical commerce industry. In terms of the current situation of the commerce industry, the production enterprises and the retail industry bypassed the wholesale industry, and gradually formed a direct trading model, the entire circulation link presents ? Heavy at both ends, light in the middle? The pattern.

Second, the characteristics of the trade industry

Based on the nature of the trade industry, the trade industry has the following characteristics:

1 Various forms of business

The traditional trade enterprises are mainly single-store business, offline-based, and now there is a chain business, online business and other forms. Take the retail industry as an example, the retail industry with the development of the economy is changing all the time, the retail industry from the emergence of the present, has appeared in people's lives in eight forms, namely, department stores, one-price stores, chain stores, supermarkets, shopping centers, vending machines, pedestrian shopping streets, multimedia vending (for example, online shopping).

2 Liquid capital accounts for a large share and quick turnover

In most of the commerce enterprises, their liquidity in their total assets generally accounts for a larger share of about 80%.

Based on the commerce industry? bridge? nature, the commerce industry plays a role in the exchange and circulation of goods, and does not involve the production process, so the commerce industry compared to the manufacturing industry, its working capital turnover more often, shorter turnover time, faster turnover.

3 customer base is huge, covering a wide range

The trade industry facing customers can be roughly divided into three categories, respectively, suppliers, wholesalers, consumers. And these three categories cover almost all the people in society.

4 by the market changes in the impact of high risk

The trade industry is in circulation, the purchase and sale of activities directly facing the market, and the market due to the economic system, consumer habits, production scale, the change of seasons, inflation, market expectations and so on the change of factors and uncertainty, so the trade industry by the impact of the market to face the risk of a relatively high.

5 policy risk increase

In recent years, the regional wholesale market relocation, withdrawal and other policies have been released, part of the wholesale and retail enterprises may be caused by the relocation of business or even temporary closure, and move away from the original location, in a short period of time, may be a significant impact on its operations and profitability.

6 Low threshold of entry, strong dependence on upstream and downstream

The industry has a low threshold of entry, low capital and technical requirements, low profitability, high market competition, and strong dependence on upstream and downstream customers.

Third, the main risks

1 internal control risk

The so-called internal control refers to the self-adjustment, constraints, planning, evaluation and control of a series of measures taken by a unit in order to achieve its business objectives, protect the safety and integrity of assets, ensure the correctness and reliability of the accounting information, ensure the implementation of business policies, and ensure that the economy, efficiency and effectiveness of the business activities.

The purpose of internal control is to improve business management and economic efficiency. It is the core component of the enterprise internal control system. The good or bad of internal control plays a vital role in the operation and management of the enterprise, therefore, the internal control risk is a major risk faced by the trade and commerce industry.

2 business risk

Depending on the nature of the trade industry, the difference between business enterprises mainly lies in the business varieties, methods, locations and scale, different choices will face different risks. For example, specialty stores and department stores face different risks, and single-store operations and chain operations face different risks.

3 market risk

The purchase and sale activities of the business enterprises directly face the market, at the forefront of the market, affected by many factors, the market changes are unpredictable, so the business enterprises face greater market risk.

4 financial risk

Based on the characteristics of the fast turnover of funds in business enterprises, the debt ratio of business enterprises is usually higher, the funds occupied mainly in the inventory, once the sale of goods or payback problems, will face greater financial risk.

5 cooperation risk

Business enterprises upstream cooperation customers are often limited to a specific few, put themselves in a passive partnership, commonly known as ? The eggs are placed in a basket?

6 downstream customer capital recovery risk

This is mainly reflected in the wholesale industry, which faces the risk of downstream customers is mainly the recovery of accounts receivable, accounts receivable as a business enterprise as an important part of the liquidity of the enterprise, as if the enterprise's blood, is a process of input cycle, once the problem of payback, it will have a direct impact on the business situation.

Fourth, the overall credit principles

In view of the current state of the domestic economy, we recommend that the overall credit principles for business enterprises (wholesale and retail): moderate support, optimal intervention.

Credit institutions in the actual operation of the process should focus on the borrower's operating time, business performance, business environment, business practices, the stability of the supply relationship and concentration, inventory, accounts receivable, debt level and other aspects. For business enterprises with outstanding business performance, superior geographical location, chain operation, stable supply channels, and debt ratio at a reasonable level can be moderately supported. Credit institutions should determine a reasonable credit limit based on the borrower's sales scale, turnover rate, etc. The credit period and the borrower's cash flow should be matched, and guarantee methods such as movable asset mortgages and receivable pledges should be explored in conjunction with specific circumstances. In principle, the new credit granted to wholesale enterprises should focus on short-term trade financing or commodity financing and other businesses corresponding to cash flow. For retail businesses, it is prudent to intervene in single-unit retail businesses that lack fixed assets and operate on leased premises, and it is prudent to finance new stores with fierce regional competition and high operating costs such as land prices and rents.

In the process of understanding the historical development of the customer's clients, it is necessary to focus on and grasp the customer's motivation for establishment, scope of operation, asset accumulation process, main business development, possible changes in the customer and future development trends.

In addition, by reviewing the business performance of the enterprise, it also indirectly makes a judgment on the operating ability of the enterprise.

For small and medium-sized business enterprises, at present, most SMEs have not set up a sound financial system, and some even have no financial statements or financial statements do not reflect the real financial situation, the public and personal accounts are used interchangeably, and the cash flow situation does not reflect their real business situation. Therefore, the creditors in the on-site investigation, should require customers to provide relevant purchase and sale documents and related agents, sales contracts to indirectly understand the business capacity.

Maintaining business operations requires a sustained profitability, which can be assessed in conjunction with the corresponding financial indicators of the enterprise's profitability.

6 Review of the business environment and quality of service

8 Review of inventory

Inventory refers to the materials or materials that an enterprise holds for sale or consumes in the course of its daily production and operation, including all kinds of materials, commodities, products, semi-finished products, finished products, etc. Inventory is often in the process of purchasing, consuming and selling. Inventory is often in the process of purchase, consumption, sale, liquidity is strong, it is generally believed that the inventory in the short-term solvency of the enterprise in determining the factors that play the most important role.

For the commerce industry, inventory and accounts receivable account for the highest proportion of its asset composition. For some business enterprises, especially retail enterprises, its liquidity even more than 80% are used in inventory. The review of inventory of business enterprises is a key point of pre-credit investigation. Since inventory not only occupies a lot of capital, but also has a wide variety and a huge quantity, the quality and liquidity of inventory are the key points in the review process, among which, the analysis of inventory structure is the core of inventory analysis. In addition, the inventory management ability also reflects the ability of the enterprise's management.
