Financial management decisions are divided into the management of assets (investments) and liabilities (sources of financing), in the long-term and the short-term.

For these reasons, working capital policy and management is an essential topic of study. In many text books working capital refers to current assets, and net working capital is defined as current assets minus current liabilities. Working capital policy refers to decisions relating to the level of current assets and the way they are financed, while working capital management refers to all those decisions and activities a firm undertakes in order to manage efficiently the elements of current assets. - Women’s Loan: Empowering Women By : Adam Jaylin

For those who relish the idea of entrepreneurship, the start of your own small business can be enormously freeing – both financially and emotionally.
