Working Capital Doesn't Have to Be a Mystery

Most business owners in Taiwan treat working capital like some abstract finance concept. But here's the thing—it's just the money that keeps your operations running day to day. We teach you how to actually read it, manage it, and use it without needing an accounting degree.

What We Actually Focus On

Our curriculum breaks down working capital into three practical areas. No fluff, no generic business advice—just specific skills you can apply to your own situation.

Cash Flow Reading

Learning to spot problems before they become crises. We cover receivables timing, payables strategy, and the weird gap between profit and actual cash.

Inventory Balance

Too much stock ties up money. Too little costs you sales. Finding that middle ground takes practice and some honest assessment of your business patterns.

Operational Ratios

Quick ratio, current ratio, cash conversion cycle—sounds boring, but these numbers tell you if you're actually healthy or just looking profitable on paper.

Real Situations, Not Textbook Examples

Every case study we use comes from actual Taiwan businesses. Retail shops dealing with seasonal inventory swings. Manufacturing operations juggling supplier terms. Service companies managing project cash flow.

You'll work through scenarios that mirror what you're probably dealing with right now. And when someone in class asks a question, chances are three other people were thinking the same thing.

Marco Venturi

Import Business Owner, Taipei

From Constant Stress to Actual Control

I spent two years wondering why my import business always felt broke despite decent sales numbers. Turns out I was funding my suppliers for way too long while waiting on customer payments.

The working capital course didn't give me some magic solution. But it helped me see where my cash was actually sitting. Made some uncomfortable changes to payment terms—lost one client over it, honestly. But three months later, I wasn't scrambling to cover payroll anymore.

What stuck with me most was the instructor saying "profit is an opinion, cash is a fact." That shift in thinking changed how I run things. Started the autumn 2024 session, finished by December. Worth every Tuesday evening I spent in class.

Learn Alongside People Who Get It

Classes run small—usually twelve to fifteen people. Mix of industries, but everyone's dealing with similar cash flow headaches. You'll end up exchanging numbers with at least a few classmates. That informal network becomes surprisingly valuable when you hit a specific problem months later.

How the Program Actually Works

Our next cohort starts October 2025. Twelve weeks, one evening per week, plus some self-paced work you do on your own schedule. Here's what that looks like in practice.

Foundation Phase

First four weeks cover the basics—financial statement reading, working capital components, and how they connect to your actual operations. Homework involves analyzing your own business numbers if you're comfortable sharing them.

Analysis Skills

Weeks five through eight focus on diagnostic tools. You'll calculate ratios, identify patterns, and learn what normal versus concerning looks like in your industry. Group discussions get pretty specific here.

Strategy Application

Final four weeks address improvement strategies. Negotiating better terms, adjusting inventory practices, forecasting cash needs. Each person develops a specific action plan for their situation.

Implementation Support

After the formal course ends, you get access to monthly office hours for six months. Bring questions as they come up while you're actually implementing changes. Most people use this at least twice.
