Operating Capital

/ˈɒpəˌreɪtɪŋ ˈkæpɪtəl/noun
ELI5 mode

Operating capital refers to the funds a business uses for its everyday activities, such as paying suppliers, covering payroll, and managing inventory to keep operations running smoothly. This vital resource ensures short-term financial stability and supports growth, but in today's fast-paced markets, inadequate operating capital can quickly lead to crises like delayed payments or stalled projects.
