Working capital assets refer to the short-term resources a business needs to remain operational during its regular operations. This includes anything from cash on hand to accounts receivable, inventory and other items that can be quickly sold in order to generate funds. In essence, these assets can help a business stay afloat even if sales have stalled or dipped temporarily. Companies need to carefully monitor and manage these assets in order to maintain their liquidity and profitability over time. By doing so, businesses can ensure that they’re meeting their customers’ needs on time and keeping their financials in check.
