Cash conversion cycle
The number of days between paying for work or goods and receiving your customer's payment. It is the days customers take to pay, plus the days goods sit in stock, minus the days you take to pay suppliers.
Why it matters
Every day in the cycle is money the company has to finance from somewhere. A shorter cycle means less capital is needed to run the same business.
