Working Capital

Working capital is the difference between current assets and current liabilities. It measures a business’s short-term financial health and ability to meet operational expenses and short-term debt. Positive working capital suggests liquidity, while negative working capital may indicate cash flow issues or over-reliance on short-term borrowing.
