What is Working Capital?

Working capital is the difference between your business's current assets and current liabilities. It represents the liquid assets available to meet day-to-day operational expenses and short-term obligations. Positive working capital indicates that your business can cover its short-term debts and has resources for growth, while negative working capital may signal cash flow challenges. A healthy current ratio (assets divided by liabilities) is typically 1.5 or higher, though ideal ratios vary by industry. Managing working capital effectively is crucial for business stability, growth, and the ability to seize new opportunities.
