What is working capital?
Working capital is the money that a business can safely spend after accounting for all of the cash coming in and going out within the next 12 months. This means that the money that forms working capital is quickly accessible so it can be used to capitalise on opportunities such as investment and contracts.
Working capital is different to cash flow. Cash flow provides an insight into how much money a business makes at any given time and is a day to day reflection of the business. Whereas working capital includes how much money the business is due to receive and how much money the business owes. Therefore, working capital provides more insight into the company.
How is working capital calculated?
To calculate working capital, the equation is:
Working capital = current assets – current liabilities.
Current assets = Money coming in i.e. payments due via invoices.
Current liabilities = Money going out i.e. bills, suppliers, rent.
Why is working capital important?
Working capital is important as it indicates how healthy a business is in the short term. Working capital is useful for assessing how well a business will cope during slow trading periods, repaying short term debts and any unexpected costs. Working capital is also used for investment purposes as well such as buying new equipment, starting new contracts and much more.
Furthermore, working capital is also a really good indicator to potential trading partners and suppliers that your business is healthy and well operated. This is key when trading for businesses in the long-term.
