Frequently Asked Questions

What is working capital?
Working capital is Current Assets minus Current Liabilities. It measures a company's short-term liquidity and ability to pay near-term obligations. Positive working capital means the company can cover its short-term debts.
What is a good working capital ratio?
A ratio between 1.5:1 and 2:1 is generally considered healthy. Below 1:1 means liabilities exceed assets (risk of insolvency). Above 2:1 might mean assets are not being used efficiently. Industry norms vary.
How can I improve working capital?
Collect receivables faster, negotiate longer payment terms with suppliers, reduce excess inventory, use short-term financing strategically, improve cash flow management, and renegotiate unfavorable loan terms.
