Cash Credit
 
Suppose there is a manufacturing entity which manufactures a certain products. In order to do that the entity has to procure raw material from another vendor. The raw material is processed and the finished goods are ready. How, these finished goods are not immediately sold. Hence, the entity’s capital is stuck in inventory in the form of raw material, work-in-progress and finished goods. After finished goods are sold, payments are not realised immediately and certain funds are blocked in receivables/debtors. As such, the entire cycle from procurement of raw material to final realisation of cash takes time and this is called working capital cycle. Meanwhile, the entity has to meet its day to day operating expenses to run the unit and cannot wait for the inventory to convert into cash. What should the entity do in such situation?
