Capital de Giro e Ciclo de Conversão de Caixa

Estimate the cash tied up in the operating cycle once new capacity runs.

• Annual cost of goods sold (currency/year)
• Inventory days (days)
• Receivable days (days)
• Payable days (days)

cycle days = inventory + receivables − payables; net working capital = (annual COGS ÷ 365) × cycle days; funding requirement = max(0, net); estimated surplus = max(0, −net).

• Cash conversion cycle
• Net working capital (signed) — Negative when supplier credit exceeds the cycle
• Working capital funding requirement — Never negative; 0 when there is no additional funding need
• Estimated working-capital surplus — Cash released by supplier credit; 0 when net working capital is positive or zero

• Payment terms agreed with equipment suppliers
• Inventory policy during ramp-up
• Customer receivable days
• Advance payments and letter-of-credit margins

• Excludes advance payments to equipment suppliers and letters of credit margins unless entered.
• Single-currency model. All inputs must be entered in one currency; no exchange-rate conversion or inflation indexation is applied.
• VAT timing effects are excluded.

This is a preliminary planning estimate, not a manufacturer quotation. Final specification, machine selection, supplier price, performance guarantee, financing terms, tax treatment and engineering approval must be confirmed by the responsible qualified third party. Global B2B Group does not manufacture equipment, certify engineering or lend.

• A commissioned line still needs cash before it generates cash.
