Working Capital

The value of assets a company has available to build its business. It is one measure of a company’s liquidity. Since average working capital tends to be different for different industries, it is probably more important to look at changes to a company’s WC over time and to compare it only to other companies in its industry.

WC = current assets - current liabilities
