Optimisation of Net Working Capital (NWC)

optimising data

In essence, optimising Net Working Capital means ensuring your business maintains enough cash flow to cover its ongoing operating costs and short-term debts.

Achieving the right level of NWC is crucial for any business. It’s about keeping a steady balance that matches your business’s size and activities. And it’s vital to keep cash flow in check by regularly monitoring income and expenses.

Simply put, Net Working Capital reflects the net financial needs from your operating cycle and optimises these to the best extent possible. It’s about refining this to support your business’s liquidity, especially in today’s market conditions.

Here’s where we focus:
  • Debtors - Sell to the right people. Assess the recoverability of receivables and refine payment terms
  • Creditors - Refine cash outflows. Evaluate credit terms and spot cost-saving opportunities from early payments.
  • Inventory - Refine inventory management through collaboration in the supply chain.
