sound business practice
If you manage to word the whole thing without using 'conditions' in translating 'dans des conditions' the end result will be much improved.

Hello writeaway, I got some hits on google for 'credible and of high standing', in relation to companies. However, strictly speaking 'credible' and 'trade' can not be juxtaposed without another noun, eg. 'credible trade organisations'

decent commercial situation
Intuitivement, j'aurais lu la phrase comme ça :
..."situation de commerce" qui est honorable. On parle donc de l'état des finances qui est bon, plutot que décrire le commerce lui-même.

: it just does not sound right in English: "decent" is not a word often used to describe business, not formally
