Working capital is the cash a business needs to keep running day to day: money owed by customers (debtors) plus stock, less money you owe suppliers (creditors). Profitable, growing businesses often run short of cash because more and more of it gets tied up in unpaid invoices and stock. This workbook turns 24 months of figures from your management accounts into the measures banks and advisers use – debtor days, stock days, creditor days and the cash conversion cycle – and then shows how much cash you could release, how you compare with your sector, whether you are at risk of overtrading and whether your facility will cover the growth you are planning.
