Half of Sidney runs on seasonal cash flow, so we look at this alongside your slowest month, not just the year-end balance sheet.

In plain English

Working Capital & Liquidity explained simply

Working capital is what a business has on hand right now minus what it owes right now. Positive means you can pay this year's bills. Negative means trouble is coming.

For example

$171,000 in cash, receivables and inventory against $80,000 of bills leaves $91,000 of working capital and a healthy 2.1x current ratio.
