ROLE OF WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT ON BUSINESS GROWTH

 

CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

1.1  Background to the study

According to Nyamao etal (2011), Management of working capital which aims at maintaining an optimal balance between each of the working capital components, that is, cash, receivables, inventory and payables is a fundamental part of the overall corporate strategy to create value and is an important source of competitive advantage in businesses. In practice, it has become one of the most important issues in organizations with many financial executives struggling to identify the basic working capital drivers and the appropriate level of working capital to hold so as to minimize risk, effectively prepare for uncertainty and improve the overall performance of their businesses. The existence of efficient working capital management practices can make a substantial difference between the success and failure of an enterprise and it is of particular importance to the managers of small scale enterprises, because it is they who strive for finances and the opportunity cost of finances, for them is usually on the higher side. Efficient management of working capital is vital for the success and survival of the SSEs which needs to be embraced to enhance performance and contribution to economic growth. There is evidence that many small scale enterprises are not very good at managing their working capital despite their high investments in current assets in proportion to their total assets and this has been a major cause of their high failure rates as compared to large businesses. According to him, majority of the small scale enterprises operate without credit control department implying that both the expertise and the information required to make sound judgments concerning terms of sales may not be available. They also lack proper debt collection procedures, hence, they tend to experience increased risks of late payment and default by debtors who tend to increase where there is an exclusive concern for growth; in this case, small scale enterprises may not be too willing to extend credit to customers who have poor credit risks.

Working capital management is a very important component of corporate finance because it directly affects the liquidity, profitability and growth of a business and is important to the financial health of business organizations of all sizes as the amounts invested in working capital are often high in proportion to the total assets employed. It involves the planning and controlling of current assets and liabilities in a manner that eliminates the risk of inability to meet short-term obligations and avoid excessive investments in these assets (Lamberson, 2015).

I actually googled and saw about iproject master, copied the number and contacted them through WhatsApp to ask for the availability of the material and to my luck they have it. So there was a delay with the project due to the covid19 pandemic. I was really scared before making the payment cause I’ve been scammed twice, they attended so well to me and that made me trust the process and made the payment and provided them with proof, I got my material in less than 10minutes
Very Good
