To ensure an efficient sales process the vendor should present clear and concise financial information to potential buyers. An independent review gives potential buyers confidence and insight into the business, and the underlying profitability.

Companies which excel in their management of working capital have a real competitive advantage

Current uncertainties in the global economy and financial markets are putting increasing pressures on companies and their supply chains. In these times of economic uncertainty, working capital remains an obvious and key source of finance - it is the cheapest source of cash and it is available to most businesses.

The fundamental principles of working capital management are clear: reduce inventory and receivables whilst increasing payables balances. Unfortunately, many companies lack a systematic approach to managing their working capital and treat the issue in an ad-hoc and decentralized way. As such they find it hard to optimize working capital.
