Working capital is the cash your business needs to enable it to run properly – for costs such as wages, bills, rent, utilities and more.

As a metric, working capital represents the liquidity available to a business to cover short or mid-term costs, so enhancing your working capital profile gives your business more cash headroom.

This is particularly useful in the current unpredictable climate, but even in a more stable macroeconomic environment, a strong working capital profile means a business can respond with speed and agility to new opportunities in the market.

What is working capital?

Working capital is important because it affects so many aspects of your business. Paying employees and vendors, planning for sustainable long-term growth and even just keeping the lights on in the office are costs that are covered by your working capital. It is crucial that you have enough working capital, as it is the money available to meet your current short-term obligations.

As a calculation, working capital is the difference between a business’ current assets and current liabilities. At a fundamental level, you could enhance your working capital by improving the ratio between the two.

For ambitious businesses, however, this will often mean reining in growth plans, so accessing external funds that will support your working capital can be an attractive alternative.

Invoice finance, invoice discounting and asset based lending are all types of funding that are designed to enhance a business’ working capital and smooth cash flow, but some facility types will be a better fit for your business than others.
