Working Capital Management
Introduction
The significance of working capital is known to every businessman. Companies that do not have sufficient working capital are in jeopardy.
Working capital must be sufficient enough to cover the maturing short-term debts and upcoming operational costs. The working capital ratio below 1.0 indicates that the company has some trouble meeting its short-term commitments.
But that doesn’t mean a higher working capital ratio is good for the company. Higher working capital indicates excess inventory, meaning the assets are not utilized well. The maximum working capital ratio must be between 1.2 and 2.0.
Every business needs to manage their working capital efficiently. That is where we come into the picture. Our expert team balances your working capital in the radius of the recommended limits.
