  6. Understanding Working Capital Cycle

  7. Why you need cash Working capital cycle is used to illustrate the length of days it takes a business to convert its inventories into cash. Why you need to buy raw materials  If you are into manufacturing, you buy raw materials from suppliers, work on them and make it ready for customers to buy. 

  8. Customers will either buy in cash or on credit. Then you collect money back from your customers. You must understand the effect of selling on credit to customers. The longer you hold stock, and the longer it takes you to collect cash from credit sales made to your customers, the greater cash flow difficulties you will face.

  9. In terms of finding a few tips on how to manage your working capital, there are three objectives to consider. The objectives include having enough cash to make necessary payments when due, making sure the money does not cost more due to interest on a loan or overdraft protection policy, and planning for increase cash flow needs in the future.

  10. Debtors Customers who buy from you on credit, even moderate credit terms like 30 days, have your company's working capital health in their hands. If they do not pay on time, your cash flow can be seriously dented.

  11. Creditors Just as you should not overload your household with more debt than your income can support, your business's creditors should be kept to a minimum both in number and accrued balances. When possible, take advantage of early payment discounts or pay cash to avoid interest.

  12. Inventory Carrying high levels of inventory when it is in demand is good for business as well as revenues. However, carrying a lot of inventory when demand is low hurts your cash on hand. When cash is tied up in inventory, sales must increase in order to rebuild cash levels.
