What is the Function of Working Capital in Business?

[Suba]

Every business that we run always requires working capital, which is one of the financial metrics that every entrepreneur needs to know. While the meaning of working capital refers to the liquid capital owned by a business. Some examples of working capital are cash, (cash and bank), receivables, inventory of goods, short-term securities, fees/rents to be paid, short-term debts, etc. So in a business, working capital has functions such as:
1. The ability to provide credit/debt to consumers
2. The ability to pay employee salaries, etc.
3. The ability to finance business operations.
