Optimisation of Net Working Capital (NWC)

Value Creation

In few words optimising Net Working Capital for a business means making sure to maintain a sufficient level of cash flows to meet its ongoing operating costs and short-term debt obligations.

Finding the right level of NWC for a business is fundamental and a common factor across all types of business, and it is essential to have this at a constant balance and proportionate to the volume and type of business activity. It is fundamental to keep cash flows under control by systematically measuring and controlling income and expenses.

In other simple words, Net Working Capital expresses the net financial requirement derived from the operating cycle and optimize this to the best extent possible to support critical liquidity levels for your business, particularly in the context of historic and prevailing market conditions.
