FAQ
What's a good CCC?
Lower is better. Negative CCC (like Amazon) means you get paid before paying suppliers. Most businesses aim for 30-60 days.
How can I improve CCC?
Reduce inventory levels, collect receivables faster, and negotiate longer payment terms with suppliers.
Why does CCC matter?
A longer CCC ties up more cash in operations, requiring more working capital to run the business.
