Frequently Asked Questions

Net Working Capital = Current Assets minus Current Liabilities = (Inventory + Receivables + Cash) minus (Payables + Short-term borrowings). Positive NWC means the business can meet short-term obligations. Negative NWC is dangerous unless you collect advance payments like subscription businesses.

CCC = Inventory Days + Receivable Days minus Payable Days. It measures how many days your cash is tied up in operations. A 55-day CCC means cash leaves your business 55 days before it comes back. Lower (or negative) CCC means better cash efficiency.

Common sources: bank overdraft/cash credit at 10–12% interest, invoice discounting (factoring) at 1–2% per month, supplier credit extension, channel financing from distributors, Mudra and CGTMSE loans, and NBFCs for businesses that don't qualify for bank loans.

Working capital turnover = Revenue / Average Working Capital. Higher is better — means more revenue per rupee of working capital. Benchmarks: Retail 8–12x, Manufacturing 4–6x, Services 6–10x. Below 3x typically indicates working capital inefficiency.

Fastest working capital reducers: invoice immediately on delivery (not month-end), offer 2% early payment discount, negotiate 15–30 additional days from suppliers, reduce inventory from 60 to 30 days of stock, and collect overdue receivables aggressively. A 10-day improvement in CCC frees significant cash.
