Support day to day operations with funding from Prospa
Most businesses don’t always have access to large cash surpluses, but the working capital formula also takes into consideration the value of resources and assets owned by the business that can be converted to cash relatively quickly. However, if your business has a long term liability and needs to boost working capital quickly, there are other options available. Prospa offers a small business loan for larger, one-off purchases or a line of credit that is perfect to support your business cash flow in the short term while you focus on growth over the long term.

Frequently asked questions
To work out your working capital, there’s a simple calculation called the ‘Working Capital Formula’. It’s basically Current Assets minus Current Liabilities. Working capital formula (or net working capital formula) is a great way to measure a company’s short term liquidity and gives a clear understanding of what assets are left after short-term liabilities have been finalised.
Financial analysts use the working capital formula and working capital ratio (another quick ratio calculation) when looking at a business’s balance sheet to determine the health of the business and to understand the net working operating capital of the business at any point in time. When a business understands the relationship between assets and current liabilities, there’s a clearer picture of what’s possible in the short and long term. It allows the business to continue day to day operations with confidence, and plan ahead for future growth.
When the working capital formula shows a positive working capital – the business is in good financial health. That means there’s sufficient liquid assets to pay off short term debt and to invest in business growth. However, when the working capital formula calculation shows a negative working capital, the business may be in trouble in the short term.
If your working capital formula points to a negative outcome, you could consider supporting cash flow by borrowing funds. There are many options available if you’re comfortable your business can support short term debt. The Prospa Business Line of Credit offers ongoing access to funds between $2K and $150K. You can use and reuse as often as you like and you only pay interest on what you use. Talk to our friendly customer service team today about finance to support your net working operating capital.
If you’d like to invest in your business, but you don’t have the assets or working capital to pay up front, you can borrow large amounts from many financial services providers. Prospa offers a small business loan of between $5K and $150K with funding possible in 24 hours. Compared to a line of credit this could be considered long term debt – but terms range from 3 – 36 months.
