The most confusing failure in business: the P&L says profit, the bank account says crisis. The gap between them is working capital — and it grows exactly when you grow.
The mechanics of the squeeze
Every sale on credit locks cash in receivables; every stocked shelf locks cash in inventory; every advance to suppliers locks more. Growth multiplies all three faster than collections catch up — profitable expansion can consume cash relentlessly.
The three levers
- Collect faster: shorter terms, milestone billing, advances, and actual follow-up discipline
- Hold less stock: know which items turn and which sleep; slow stock is frozen cash
- Pay smart: use agreed supplier terms fully — paying early without discounts donates your liquidity
Financing the gap properly
Structural working-capital needs suit cash-credit or overdraft limits sized from your operating cycle — not expensive short-term patches taken in panic. Banks size limits from your data; presenting it well is half the approval.
