Working capital: Unlocking working capital value for mid-market companies

Optimising working capital is not only about operational efficiency; it is about choosing the right tools to support your cash conversion goals. Well-structured working capital solutions can enhance cash availability, improve liquidity, and support a steadier cash-flow cycle. The key is selecting an approach that fits your commercial reality, and that is where our experience makes the difference.

At Nexxent Bank, we partner with our customers daily. We understand the operational realities you face: tight labour markets, supply chain volatility, rising costs and a competitive landscape that demands agility. Working capital is a practical lever for responding to these challenges with confidence.

Working capital funds daily operations and includes but is not limited to paying suppliers, managing stock and handling payments.

Optimised working capital benefits include:

  • More liquidity, without adding unnecessary balance-sheet pressure
  • Greater resilience against market volatility
  • Headroom to invest whether in digitalisation, acquisitions, or expansion
  • Lower cash-flow pressure across your supply chain, especially in interest-sensitive environments

Understanding the core drivers

Three components determine how efficiently cash flows throughout your organisation:

  • Days Sales Outstanding (DSO): How quickly your customers pay you. Lower DSO means less cash stuck in invoices and more available for strategic use.
  • Days Payables Outstanding (DPO): How long you take to pay suppliers. Extending DPO keeps cash in your business longer.
  • Days Inventory Outstanding (DIO): How long stock remains in your warehouse. Optimising production planning and stock levels directly reduces cash absorption.

Together, these elements form the Cash Conversion Cycle (CCC): The number of days it takes to convert outflows into inflows. A shorter CCC means a healthier, more agile balance sheet.

Let's explore what's possible

If you're looking for a partner that helps strengthen operational cash flow, we're here for you.

We speak your language, whether that's CFO realities, treasury processes, or the day-to-day demands of running an organisation. And we bring the expertise to turn working capital optimisation into real strategic value.

Let's discuss how we can make your working capital work harder - for a stronger, more resilient future.
