Working capital refers to financing of short term production activities. Working capital is necessary for businesses to cover short term liquidity issues, such as purchases of inputs, covering wage bills, etc. It does not refer to larger investments, such as in machinery or equipment. Since investment financing is covered under question K.5, working capital can be understood as financing of all operations, excluding investment in fixed assets Working capital sources are likely to be diverse. It is important for the enumerator to make sure that the various sources do add up to 100%. Both domestic and foreign banks are included in k3bc
