FACT:
To thrive, businesses need working capital.
The reality is that many small companies are under capitalized. This limits their growth potential and how they conduct business. With careful planning and the advise of our finance professionals, small businesses can get access to the cash they need to operate efficiently and most importantly prosper.
Definition of working capital.
There are plenty of textbook definitions of what working capital is and how to calculate it. For example, some define working capital as the difference between current assets and current liabilities. The problem with that definition is often the current assets are not liquid enough to handle the current liabilities. The most obvious current assets one can use to create working capital are accounts receivable and inventory. They are the most liquid current (non-cash) assets that most businesses have.
Many business owners define positive working capital as the time when they can pay. themselves
Too often, cash is tied up in non-performing assets like accounts receivable and inventory. If a business has an average days sales outstanding of 45 and generates $100,000 in new business every month, his accounts receivable balance will be $150,000. This is working capital tied up in accounts receivable and can’t be used to pay vendors, employees and owners. Often, owners are the last to get paid which creates all kinds of stress on the business.
