Plainly put, permanent working capital is the minimum amount of working capital that is needed for a business to cover all current liabilities and also continue operating.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Simple enough, right? Well, consider the fact that permanent working capital actually <\/span><b>isn\u2019t permanent<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">! We\u2019ll explain&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The precise value of your business\u2019s fixed working capital will be relative to the size of your business, as well as the value of your current assets and your current liabilities. If you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.become.co\/blog\/scaling-your-business\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">scale up business<\/a> (and have higher operating costs), or if your business has more liabilities (debts to pay), you&#8217;ll have relatively higher permanent working capital.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Add to that the fact that your sources of \u2018reliable\u2019 and \u2018uninterrupted\u2019 capital may very well change over time, and you\u2019ll begin to understand why it can get a little tricky to pinpoint exactly how your business is operating with respect to meeting the required permanent working capital. Since it changes as time goes on, measuring permanent working capital remains an ongoing process no matter how long you\u2019ve been in business.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><b>Important note:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Don\u2019t get confused by the name &#8211; <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the dollar amount<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of your permanent working capital <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is not permanent<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
