Customer's question

My new supplier wants 50% upfront. Should I agree?

An unfamiliar supplier requests a large deposit. I want to understand the risks and alternatives.

H
⚖ Recommended direction

Clarify the commercial impact before accepting.

The longer terms may affect working capital and the relationship. Check the impact and available alternatives first.

Our cash runway is limited. Does that change your view?
Yes. It makes cash-flow exposure more important. Consider a shorter term or a meaningful tradeoff.
Built for the way small businesses actually operate

Practical advice that starts with your business.

A better advisor doesn't just read an agreement. It asks what matters, explains the tradeoffs, and builds on facts you confirm over time.

Talk through business challenges

Discuss payment terms, supplier relationships, customer offers, and commercial commitments. You don't need a document to begin.

Build knowledge you control

Confirm and edit important business facts so relevant context can help inform future conversations.

Use evidence when needed

Bring a supported PDF when its terms matter. Understand what it says without losing sight of your business objectives.

Not just information—practical judgment. Hecataeus is designed to recommend a direction, explain uncertainty and alternatives, and recognize when accepting existing terms makes more sense than negotiating.
