That's called a discount rate. n/30 means that if the company pays the full cost of their balance if they pay before 30 days. After 30 days, of course, additional fees would be applied.

This type of statement is usually accompanied by something like 2/15, which means they get a 2% discount if they pay before 15 days is up. So, all together, the statement might look like this: 2/15, n/30. Those are the terms of the payment.
