What is long-term working capital?
Long-term working capital is the amount of money that a business needs to operate its normal activities for more than one year. It is also known as fixed working capital or permanent working capital. Long-term working capital helps a business to meet its long-term goals, such as expansion, diversification, research, and development, etc. It is usually financed by long-term sources of funds, such as equity, debentures, Term Loans, retained earnings, and more. Long-term working capital is calculated by subtracting the non-current liabilities from the non-current assets of a business.
Businesses can use long-term working capital to maintain a healthy working capital or to fund their long-term growth plans.
Bajaj Finance offers long-term working capital loans up to Rs. 80 lakh that can be repaid in easy EMIs spreading across a period of 96 months.
