What is working capital management?
Working capital management is the process of optimizing the balance between current assets (cash, inventory, receivables) and current liabilities (payables, short-term debt) to ensure your business has sufficient cash for operations while minimizing cash trapped in the operating cycle.
What is the cash conversion cycle?
The cash conversion cycle measures how long it takes for cash invested in inventory to return as cash from sales. It equals inventory days plus receivable days minus payable days. Shortening this cycle frees up cash for other uses.
How can I reduce cash tied up in inventory?
Strategies include reducing slow-moving stock, implementing just-in-time ordering for key items, negotiating consignment arrangements, and improving demand forecasting. We analyze your inventory turnover to identify specific opportunities.
How much cash can working capital optimization release?
The amount varies by business, but many Kenyan SMEs can release 10–20% of annual revenue in cash through systematic working capital optimization. We quantify the specific opportunity for your business during the assessment phase.
