Accounting · Definition
The short-term capital tied up in running the business day to day.
Working capital is current assets less current liabilities — mainly inventory plus receivables minus payables. It is the money locked in the operating cycle rather than available to spend.
For product businesses it is dominated by stock. Reducing inventory days or collecting faster releases cash without earning another shilling of revenue.
Working capital = Current assets − Current liabilities
Inventory, receivables and payables are the three levers you can actually move.
