High-Level Overview

Working capital is the lifeblood of any business, essential for sustaining daily operations and fuelling growth. It's calculated as the difference between current assets and current liabilities. In simpler terms, it's the cash a business has readily available for use. For instance, if a business has £5,000 in the bank, is owed £4,000 by customers, has a £2,000 supplier invoice, and a £4,000 VAT bill, its working capital would be £3,000 \[£(5,000 + 4,000) - (2,000 + 4,000)\].

Types of Working Capital Finance

Various lending options are categorised under working capital finance, each suited to different business needs:

Overdrafts: A flexible option that allows businesses to overdraw their bank accounts up to an agreed limit, useful for managing cash flow variations.
Short-Term Loans: These are typically used for specific, immediate purposes and are usually repaid within a year.
Invoice Financing: Allows businesses to receive advances on outstanding invoices, improving cash flow by making funds available sooner.
Trade Credit: Involves purchasing goods or services on account, paying the supplier at a later date. This can help manage cash flow more effectively.
