Generation

Working capital is the money a business has available for its day-to-day operations, calculated as current assets minus current liabilities. Think of it as the financial cushion that keeps a company running smoothly—it covers everyday expenses like paying employees, buying inventory, and keeping the lights on while waiting for customers to pay their bills. Positive working capital means you have enough liquid resources to meet short-term obligations, while negative working capital signals potential cash flow problems. It's essentially a snapshot of a company's short-term financial health and operational efficiency.
