Working capital is a vital element in any business and has to be managed carefully to optimise its value to the business and to lower the risk for lenders. This presentation is an introduction to the topic and explains what effective working capital management is and why lenders should pay attention to it.
A business' investment in current assets has to be funded somehow so it pays to keep the level of assets as low as possible. This presentation looks at how that can be done and explains how that affects a lender's risk.
Introduction

These items are also referred to as circulating capital
Corporate executives devote a considerable amount of attention to the management of working capital
Definition

Working Capital is also known as revolving or circulating capital or short-term capital.
Nature Of Working Capital

Current assets refer to those assets which in the ordinary course of business can be, or will be, converted into cash within one year without undergoing a diminution in value and without disrupting the operations of the firm.
Examples- cash, marketable securities, accounts receivable and inventory.
Current liabilities are those liabilities which are intended, at their inception, to be paid in the ordinary course of business, within a year, out of the current assets or the earnings of the concern.
Examples- accounts payable, bills payable, bank overdraft and outstanding expenses.

Liquidity - Analysing the Current and Quick RatiosGeoff Burton
Lenders place much emphasis on these ratios in the analysis of the business but without an understanding of the components of the two parts of each ratio, the picture can be very misleading. This presentation takes a close look at both ratios so that they can be critically analysed and the correct understanding of the business’ liquidity position can be gained.
Every business needs some resources in order to function. In this presentation we take a look at what these resources are and the kind of questions that should be asked by lenders to determine whether the resources are adequate and well managed.

There are several ways in which depreciation can be calculated but the most common is called the straight-line method. In this presentation we discuss the methodology in some detail.
Analysing business risks; market environmentGeoff Burton
When we assess a business as analysts, we want to get a sense of whether it’s likely to be sustainable into the future and so a vital aspect of the business that we need to understand is its place in the market – that is, does it sell something that someone actually buys and will continue to buy? We call this the market environment and in this presentation we take a look at these semi-external components of the business, those elements that are, to some extent, within the control of the business itself.
Depreciation methods; units of production and reducing balanceGeoff Burton
In this presentation we talk about two less-commonly used methods of calculating depreciation. These are called the units of production method and the reducing balance method.
Assessing risk in a business has a lot to do with understanding the business' gearing (or leverage) ratio. This presentation takes highlights what you need to look for when analysing the ratio and some of the adjustments that sometimes have to be made.
How to conduct a financial impact analysisGeoff Burton
It's often easier, when talking to clients, to talk in money rather than ratios or profit percentages. This presentation shows you how to convert the differential in ratios or margins between two sets of financial statements into monetary values.
There’s a lot of confusion about what depreciation actually is. Some think it has something to do with an asset losing its value while others think that it’s a mechanism for a business to create a fund for the replacement of the asset when it’s no longer functional. Over the next few episodes, let’s take a look at what depreciation really is, how it’s calculated and what impact it has on the income statement, the balance sheet and the cash flow statement. In this presentation, we’ll define depreciation and clarify the concept.

Mel Feller Looks at Creating a More Profitable Business
Making a profit is the most important - some might say the only - objective of a business. Profit measures success. It can be defined simply: Revenues - Expenses = Profit. Therefore, to increase profits you must raise revenues, lower expenses, or both. To make improvements you must know what is really going on financially at all times. You have to watch every financial event without any kind of optimistic filter.
This article is a series of questions with comments to help you analyze your profits, their sufficiency and trend, the contribution of each of your product lines or services to them, and to help you determine if you have the kind of record system you need. The questions and comments are not meant to be definitive presentations on the subjects.

Analysing a business' gross profit marginGeoff Burton
A business’ gross profit margin is a major indicator to analysts about its overall profitability and long-term sustainability. It’s critical that the margin is understood as well as what drives it and why analysts should be worried if it drops. This presentation explains why the margin is so important and how to analyse it.
Analysing business risks; introductionGeoff Burton
Lending to businesses is never easy. The assessment of a bank’s risk is complex with a number of issues that have to be considered which are both internal and external to the business. What is often lacking is a clear process to follow in order to systematically assess these issues from a credit risk perspective. In this presentation, we introduce a framework and a process to enable these internal and external business risks to be identified.
Analysing business risks; macro environmentGeoff Burton
In the macro-environment, new risk factors are constantly appearing but they are difficult to identify by the managers of the business as well as by bankers. As the major changes or developments in the macro-environment are usually outside the business’ control, it’s essential that the managers of the business are able to anticipate the impact of these changes on either the business itself or on its market before they actually happen, so as to be able to adjust the business’ products or processes accordingly. In this presentation we consider the analysis of the macro-environment through the use of the PESTEL framework.

Introduction to working capital management
1. An introduction to working
capital management
from
businessbankingcoach.com
in association with
2. In our introduction to
working capital
presentation, we
defined working
capital as the amount
of equity that is
invested in current
assets such as stock
(inventory), trade
debtors (accounts
receivable) or left in
the bank account
6. So the more assets the business has, the
more funding that’s needed because the
equation must always be in balance
7. and that’s what effective working capital
management is all about......
8. ...... investing as little
as possible in those
current assets without
negatively affecting
the business’
operations so as to
minimise the amount
of funding required
10. One indicator of good
working capital management =
Trade debtors (accounts receivable)
collected before trade creditors
(accounts payable) have to be paid
11. One indicator of good
working capital management =
Trade debtors (accounts receivable)
collected before trade creditors
(accounts payable) have to be paid
That way......................
12. ...........the business is
not having to borrow or
use its own cash to
make payments to
trade creditors and
others while waiting for
trade debtors to pay
13. But working capital can grow without
additional equity being invested in the
business
14. But working capital can grow without
additional equity being invested in the
business
but how is
that possible?
15. Imagine a business that sells a product that it
buys from a supplier – it needs to hold stock
(inventory) of the product to make sure it always
has enough to meet the demands of its
customers
16. Imagine also that the business sells the
product to its customers but allows them
trade credit – say, 30 days.
17. If that business increases its sales
significantly but doesn’t change the
way it manages its working capital,
there will be two inevitable results
18. If that business increases its sales
significantly but doesn’t change the
way it manages its working capital,
there will be two inevitable results
There will be an
increase in stock
(inventory) because
it will need to hold
more to meet the
increased demand
of its customers
19. If that business increases its sales
significantly but doesn’t change the
way it manages its working capital,
there will be two inevitable results
There will be an
increase in stock
(inventory) because
it will need to hold
more to meet the
increased demand
of its customers
There will be an
increase in trade
debtors (accounts
receivable) because
customers will have
bought more product
but will not pay for it
for 30 days
21. Then the question for the
lender is this;
If there is no additional
equity being invested in
the business but the
assets have grown, how
is that growth being
funded?
22. Then the question for the
lender is this;
If there is no additional
equity being invested in
the business but the
assets have grown, how
is that growth being
funded?
Remember the accounting equation
Assets = Equity plus Liabilities
23. If there is no funding from equity, there
can only be one answer to that
question;
24. If there is no funding from equity, there
can only be one answer to that
question;
It can only be
from increased
liabilities (debt)
25. In this context, liabilities will
be either trade creditors
(accounts payable)
or bank overdraft
26. Either way, these liabilities introduce
more risk into the business since they
are both very short-term.....
27. ........that’s why lenders have to be
concerned about the extent to
which the current assets are
allowed to grow
28. One final point; you often hear the term,
net working capital – don’t confuse it with
working capital
29. One final point; you often hear the term,
net working capital – don’t confuse it with
working capital
Working capital is the total of current assets
30. One final point; you often hear the term,
net working capital – don’t confuse it with
working capital
Working capital is the total of current assets
Net working capital is simply the difference
between the current assets total and the
current liabilities total – when net working
capital exists, a good question to ask
yourself is how the business funds it
31. We do hope that you enjoyed this presentation.
