Why Working Capital Matters
So, what’s working capital, and why should we care? In simple terms, it’s the money available to meet a company’s day-to-day expenses. Effective management of this capital ensures that a company can maintain liquidity and profitability.
During economic crises, having robust working capital management becomes even more crucial. It can mean the difference between staying afloat and going under.
