Working Capital Financing
Working capital financing is used to fund your company’s investment in short-term assets
such as accounts receivable and inventory, and to provide liquidity so that your company can
fund its day-to-day operations including payroll, overhead and other expenses.

Working Capital Financing
 Working Capital Finance Working Capital is a financial metric which
represents operating liquidity available to a business.
 The goal of working capital management is to ensure that the firm is able to
continue its operations and that it has sufficient cash flow to satisfy both
maturing short-term debt and upcoming operational expenses.

. Subject: by: Slide no. #


Objectives of Working Capital Financing
• Maintaining the required fund balance of the organization.
• Effectively managing various sources of financing.
• Concerned towards lowering the cost of financing.
• Effective utilization of financed funds.
• Timely availability of credit.
• Continuous monitoring and controlling of finances.

. Subject: by: Slide no. #


Advantages of working capital financing
• Can be relatively low cost financing, especially if secured, short-term debt.

• Non-dilutive or minimally-dilutive to equity holders.

• Amount available to borrowing, grows as the business grows.

• Smoothens out fluctuations, in cash flow due to seasonality or a large, slow-pay customer.

. Subject: by: Slide no. #


Disadvantages of working capital financing
• Can be expensive, especially accounts receivable factoring and merchant cash advances.

• Not for pre-revenue companies. Funding is usually based on accounts receivable,


inventory, or reliable future revenue.

• Lender or finance company requirements. Borrower may need to modify its credit,
billing and collection practices to conform.

• Restrictive covenants. Working capital loans require various financial and operational
covenants by the borrower.

Cost Benefit Analysis
• a process that helps you determine the economic benefit of a decision, so you can decide
whether it's worth pursuing.

• A cost-benefit analysis is the process of comparing the projected or estimated costs and
benefits (or opportunities) associated with a project decision to determine whether it makes
sense from a business perspective.

. Subject: by: Slide no. #


Cost Benefit Analysis: Application

• To evaluate whether a capital investment is worth it.


• To decide whether to hire new employees.
• To determine whether a project or operating change is feasible.
• To develop a benchmark for comparing projects.
• To weigh up one marketing initiative against another.
• To appraise the desirability of a proposed policy.
• To prioritize investments, so you're focusing on the actions that return the most value first.

. Subject: by: Slide no. #


Cost Benefit Analysis: Framework

• To evaluate whether a capital investment is worth it.


To decide whether to hire new employees.
• To determine whether a project or operating change is feasible.
• To develop a benchmark for comparing projects.
• To weigh up one marketing initiative against another.
• To appraise the desirability of a proposed policy.
• To prioritize investments, so you're focusing on the actions that return the most
value first.

. Subject: by: Slide no. #


Cost Benefit Analysis: Framework
1. Establish a Framework for Analysis

• Identify the goals and objectives you’re trying to address with the proposal. What do you
need to accomplish to consider the endeavor a success?

• Decide what metric you’ll be using to measure and compare the benefits and costs. To
accurately compare the two, both your costs and benefits should be measured in the same
“common currency.”

. Subject: by: Slide no. #


Cost Benefit Analysis: Framework
2. Identify Your Costs and Benefits

Benefits can be:


• Direct: For example, increased revenue and sales generated from a new product
• Indirect: Such as increased customer interest in your business or brand
• Intangible: For example, improved employee morale
• Competitive: For example, being a first-mover within an industry or vertical

. Subject: by: Slide no. #


Cost Benefit Analysis: Framework
3. Assign a Rupee Value to Each Cost and Benefit

• Direct costs and benefits will be the easiest to assign a rupee amount to.
Indirect and intangible costs and benefits, on the other hand, can be
challenging to quantify.

• That does not mean you shouldn’t try, though; there are many software options
and methodologies available for assigning these less-than-obvious values.

. Subject: by: Slide no. #


Cost Benefit Analysis: Framework
4. Tally the Total Value of Benefits and Costs
• If total benefits outnumber total costs, then there is a business case for you to proceed with
the project or decision. If total costs outnumber total benefits, then you may want to
reconsider the proposal.

• If the costs outweigh the benefits, ask yourself if there are alternatives to the proposal you
haven’t considered.

. Subject: by: Slide no. #


Cost Benefit Analysis: Accrued Wages & Taxes

• Accrued wages refers to the amount of liability remaining at the end of a reporting period
for wages that have been earned by hourly employees but not yet paid to them.

• This liability is included in the current liabilities section of the balance sheet of a business.

• Accrued wages are recorded in order to recognize the entire wage expense that a business
has incurred during a reporting period, not just the amount actually paid.

. Subject: by: Slide no. #


Cost Benefit Analysis: Accounts Payable

• The accounts payable process or function is immensely important since it involves nearly all
of a company's payments outside of payroll.

• The accounts payable process might be carried out by an accounts payable department in a
large corporation, by a small staff in a medium-sized company, or by a bookkeeper or
perhaps the owner in a small business

. Subject: by: Slide no. #


Cost Benefit Analysis: Accounts Payable

To safeguard a company's cash and other assets, the accounts payable process should have
internal controls. A few reasons for internal controls are to:

• prevent paying a fraudulent invoice.


• prevent paying an inaccurate invoice
• prevent paying a vendor invoice twice
• be certain that all vendor invoices are accounted for

. Subject: by: Slide no. #


Cost Benefit Analysis: Bank Loan
• Working capital loans are as good as term loan for a short period. These loans
may be repaid in installments or a lump sum at the end.

• The borrower should take such loans for financing permanent working capital
needs. The cost of interest would not allow using such loans for temporary
working capital.

. Subject: by: Slide no. #


Cost Benefit Analysis: Overdrafts
• Cash credit or bank overdraft is the most useful and appropriate type of
working capital financing extensively used by all small and big businesses.

• It is a facility offered by commercial banks whereby the borrower is sanctioned


a particular amount which can be utilized for making his business payments.

. Subject: by: Slide no. #


Cost Benefit Analysis: Overdrafts
• The borrower has to make sure that he does not cross the sanctioned limit.

• The best part is that the interest is charged to the extent the money is used and not on the
sanctioned amount which motivates him to keep depositing the amount as soon as possible
to save on interest cost.

. Subject: by: Slide no. #


Difference between Cash Credit and Overdraft

Cash Credit Overdraft


It is normally given on security of stock, debtors etc. It is normally given on security of a fixed asset.
The maximum amount is calculated as a percentage of sale The maximum amount allowed is calculated mainly on basis
and stock along with financial statements. of financial statements and security.
For e.g. A bank allowed cash credit unto 80% of stock plus
20% of sales.

It should be used for the purpose of business. Can be used for any purpose

Cost Benefit Analysis: Bill Discounting
• Invoice discounting can be technically defined as the selling of bill to invoice
discounting company before the due date of payment at a value which is less
than the invoice amount.

• The difference between the bill amount and the amount paid is the fee of the
invoice discounting to the company. The fee will depend on the period left
before payment date, amount and the perceived risk.

. Subject: by: Slide no. #


Cost Benefit Analysis: Bill Discounting

• The bills or invoices under bill discounting are legally the 'bill of exchange'. A
bill of exchange is a negotiable instrument which is negotiable mere by
endorsing the name.

• In the case of bill discounting, such bills can be either payable to the bearer or
payable to order. Therefore, after discounting a bill, a bank can further get the
bill discounted from other banks in case of cash flow requirement.

. Subject: by: Slide no. #


Cost Benefit Analysis: Commercial Paper
• Commercial paper is an unsecured, short-term debt instrument issued by a
corporation, typically for the financing of accounts receivable, inventories and
meeting short-term liabilities. .

• Commercial paper is usually issued at a discount from face value and reflects
prevailing market interest rates. Commercial paper is an unsecured and
discounted promissory note issued to finance the short-term credit needs of
large institutional buyers.

. Subject: by: Slide no. #


Cost Benefit Analysis: Certificate of Deposit

• Certificate of Deposit (CD) implies an unsecured, money market negotiable


instrument, issued by the commercial bank or financial institution, at a
discount to face value at market rates, against the amount deposited by an
individual, for a stipulated time.

• In finer terms, certificate of deposit is a fixed interest bearing term deposit,


which has a fixed maturity. It limits the access to the funds, until the lock-in
period of the investment, i.e. the depositor cannot withdraw funds, on demand.

. Subject: by: Slide no. #


Cost Benefit Analysis: Factoring
• Factoring is an arrangement whereby a business sells all or selected accounts
payables to a third party at a price lower than the realizable value of those
accounts.

• The third party here is known as the 'factor' who provides factoring services to
business.

• The factor would not only provide financing by purchasing the accounts but
also collects the amount from the debtors.

. Subject: by: Slide no. #


Cost Benefit Analysis: Factoring
• Factoring is of two types with recourse and without recourse.

• The credit risk of nonpayment by the debtor is borne by the business in case of
with recourse and it is borne by the factor in the case of without recourse.

. Subject: by: Slide no. #


Cost Benefit Analysis: Secured Term Loans

• Secured term loan is a loan granted to the business where the borrower then pledges some
form of security or collateral against the loan.

• Lenders look at either property (commercial or residential) or a debtors book as security


against a loan.

• Secured loans are normally short medium term loans ranging from 6 months to 5 years.

. Subject: by: Slide no. #


Summary

• Cost-benefit analysis is the process of comparing the projected or estimated


costs and benefits (or opportunities) associated with a project decision to
determine whether it makes sense from a business perspective.

• Trade credit is a short-term credit extended by suppliers of goods and services


in the normal course of business, to a buyer in order to enhance sales.

Commercial Paper

. Subject: by: Slide no. #


Short Term Sources of Funds
Indigenous Bankers:

• Private money-lenders and other country bankers used to be the only source of finance prior
to the establishment of commercial banks.

• They used to charge very high rates of interest and exploited the customers to the largest
extent possible.

• Now-a-days with the development of commercial banks they have lost their monopoly.

. Subject: by: Slide no. #


Short Term Sources of Funds
Trade Credit:

• Trade credit refers to the credit extended by the suppliers of goods in the normal course of
business.

• As present day commerce is built upon credit, the trade credit arrangement of a firm with its
suppliers is an important source of short-term finance.

. Subject: by: Slide no. #


Short Term Sources of Funds
Installment Credit:
• This is another method by which the assets are purchased and the possession of goods is
taken immediately but the payment is made in installments over a pre-determined period of
time.

• Generally, interest is charged on the unpaid price or it may be adjusted in the price.

• But, in any case, it provides funds for some time and is used as a source of short-term
working capital by many business houses which have difficult fund position.

. Subject: by: Slide no. #


Short Term Sources of Funds
Advances:

• Some business houses get advances from their customers and agents against orders and this
source is a short-term source of finance for them.

• It is a cheap source of finance and in order to minimize their investment in working capital,
some firms having long production cycle, specially the firms manufacturing industrial
products prefer to take advances from their customers.

. Subject: by: Slide no. #


Short Term Sources of Funds
Factoring or Accounts Receivable Credit:

• Raising short-term finance is through accounts receivable credit offered by commercial


banks and factors.

• A commercial bank may provide finance by discounting the bills or invoices of its
customers.

• Thus, a firm gets immediate payment for sales made on credit.

. Subject: by: Slide no. #


Short Term Sources of Funds

it.

• The most important items of accruals are wages and salaries, interest, and taxes.

. Subject: by: Slide no. #


Short Term Sources of Funds
Deferred Incomes:

finance.

. Subject: by: Slide no. #


Short Term Sources of Funds

basis of their projected annual turnover.

In accordance with guidelines, the working capital requirement is to be assessed at 25% of
the projected turnover to be shared between the borrower and the bank, viz. borrower
contributing 5% of the turnover as net working capital (NWC) and bank providing finance
at a minimum of 20% of the turnover.

Working Capital Requirements Up to Rs 1 Crore

Banks may evolve an appropriate system for assessing the working capital credit needs of
borrowers whose requirement are above Rs.1 crore.

requirement of such borrowers.

The turnover method, as prevalent for small borrowers may be used as a tool of assessment
for this segment as well.

Since major corporates have adopted cash budgeting as a tool of funds management, banks
may follow cash budget system for assessing the working capital finance in respect of large
borrowers.

. Subject: by: Slide no. #


Working Capital Requirements Up to Rs 1 Crore

The banks may, at their discretion, carry out the assessment based on projected turnover
basis or the traditional method.

If the credit requirement based on traditional production / processing cycle is higher than
the one assessed on projected turnover basis, the same may be sanctioned, as borrower must
be financed upto the extent of minimum 20 per cent of their projected annual turnover.

. Subject: by: Slide no. #


Norms for Inventory/Receivables

In order to provide flexibility in the assessment of credit requirements of borrowers based
on a total study of borrowers' business operations, i.e., taking into account the production /
processing cycle of the industry as well as the financial and other relevant parameters of the
borrower.

The banks have also been permitted to decide the levels of holding of each item of
inventory as also of receivables, which in their view would represent a reasonable build-up
of current assets for being supported by bank finance.

. Subject: by: Slide no. #


Grant of Ad hoc Limits

To meet the contingencies, banks may decide on the quantum and period for granting ad hoc
limits to the borrowers based on their commercial judgment and merits of individual cases.

While granting the ad hoc limits the banks must ensure that the aggregate credit limits
(inclusive of ad hoc limits) do not exceed the prescribed exposure ceiling.

. Subject: by: Slide no. #


Bills Discipline

In respect of borrowers enjoying fund-based working capital credit limits of Rs. 5 crore and
more from the banking system, the banks are required to ensure that the book-debt finance
does not exceed 75 per cent of the limits sanctioned to borrowers for financing inland credit
sales.

The remaining 25 per cent of the credit sales may be financed through bills to ensure greater
use of bills for financing sales.

. Subject: by: Slide no. #


Loan Component and Cash Credit Component

Banks may change the composition of working capital by increasing the cash credit
component beyond 20 per cent or increase the loan component beyond 80 per cent, as the
case may be, if they so desire.

Banks are expected to appropriately price each of the two components of working capital
finance, taking into account the impact of such decisions on their cash and liquidity
management.
