Working Capital Build
A segmented approach to payables, receivables and inventory that releases cash without putting supply or customer relationships at risk.
What this engagement delivers
Blanket payment extensions damage the suppliers you depend on. This build segments your payables and receivables by criticality, negotiates terms where you genuinely have leverage, and accelerates cash where it is owed to you — so the release is durable rather than a one-off squeeze.
The challenge it solves
- Payment terms are uniform, punishing your most critical suppliers.
- Receivables age while collections rely on relationships, not process.
- Inventory quietly absorbs cash with no clear ownership.
