crédito mercantil
Portuguese to English

Business/Commerce (general)
Hello everybody!
I am translating a document on "Administração Financeira".
Among the expressions present in this document, there is "crédito mercantil", for which I have found 3 options:
1) commercial credit
2) mercantile credit
3) goodwill
How would you translate that expression? Is there any difference between these three options?
Thank you!

Comment: "Hello Marian! Thank you for your contribution. I do enjoy seeing more and more different translators get involved in this discussions here. Both "commercial credit" and "mercantile credit" are possible. I realized that after posting this question. I'm also thankful to Douglas for his confirmation. I chose your answer since it was the one I ended up using for my translation. Too bad nobody commented on "goodwill", which is a different kind of "crédito mercantil", something to do with the reputation and value a company has before clients."
