Ask for deposit before production starts

Supplier Buyer
Supplier 01

Thanks for making time to talk about requesting a Deposit today.

Buyer 02

Of course. I understand we need to ask for deposit before production starts.

Supplier 03

We require a 30 percent deposit.

Buyer 04

Yes, let us look at the finance request and keep the conversation practical.

Supplier 05

From our side, the main concern is payment timing, invoice details, and approval.

Buyer 06

That makes sense, and I also need to consider our internal policy and approval process.

Supplier 07

Production will begin after payment is received.

Buyer 08

I appreciate the direct explanation. Could you share what outcome would work best for you?

Supplier 09

Ideally, we would like a clear plan with the right invoice and a realistic schedule.

Buyer 10

We can review the payment and check whether the current budget still meets your needs.

Supplier 11

That would help. Our team wants to avoid confusion later in the project or account.

Buyer 12

Understood. I can prepare a corrected finance record and include the key points in writing.

Supplier 13

The balance is due before delivery.

Buyer 14

That is reasonable. I may need to confirm the details with my manager before we commit.

Supplier 15

No problem. If you can confirm the timing, I can update our team this afternoon.

Buyer 16

I will also check the finance details so the message is accurate.

Supplier 17

Good. The most important thing is that the customer, client, or department receives a clear response.

Buyer 18

Agreed. Clear communication will protect the relationship and reduce risk.

Supplier 19

Could you send the update by the end of the day if possible?

Buyer 20

Yes. I will send a summary with the account points and any open questions.

Supplier 21

Thank you. That gives us a practical way to move forward.

Buyer 22

You're welcome. I am glad we found a payment plan everyone can track.
