To: [Customer company name] Attn: [Recipient name] [Customer address]


Dear [Recipient name],

RE: Your Credit Application Dated [Date of customer application]

Thank you for your recent application for trade credit with [Your company name]. We appreciate your interest in establishing a credit account with us.

1. Decision

After careful review of your application and the supporting documentation provided, we are unable to extend trade credit terms to [Customer company name] at this time.

2. Reasons (Select the most applicable; remove the rest)

  • Our credit assessment did not meet the threshold required for our standard credit terms.
  • The trade or bank references provided did not return responses within our review window.
  • Recent changes in the financial information available to us do not support credit at the level requested.
  • We require a longer trading history before extending credit on the terms requested.
  • Our current credit policy does not extend credit to businesses in [sector / geography] at this time.

3. Alternative Trading Arrangements

While we cannot offer credit terms today, we would welcome continuing our business relationship on one of the following bases:

  • Payment in advance (proforma invoice settled before despatch)
  • Payment on delivery
  • Card on file, charged on order
  • [Other prepayment arrangement]

We will continue to honour our standard trade prices and service levels under any of these arrangements.

4. Future Re-application

You are welcome to re-apply for credit terms after [6 / 12] months of trading with us, or sooner if your circumstances change materially. To strengthen a future application, we suggest:

  • Updated financial statements
  • A positive payment history under the prepayment arrangement above
  • Additional trade references

5. Right to Information (applicable in some jurisdictions)

If our decision was based in whole or in part on information obtained from a credit reference agency, you have the right to request the name and address of that agency. We will provide this within [28] days of your written request, where required by applicable law.


We appreciate your understanding and look forward to continuing to work with you on the alternative arrangements outlined above. Please contact [Name / Email] if you have any questions.

Yours sincerely,

[Your name] [Your position] [Company name]
