What is a Working Capital Adjustment?

Sometimes, when a business is sold, there is a difference in the available working capital and the capital needed to continue day-to-day business. When this happens, an adjustment to the working capital must be made. The idea behind this is that any time a company is sold, the buyer must have adequate working capital to continue to run the business. If not enough working capital is present, sellers must use a working capital adjustment to inject more funds into the business.

Working Capital Adjustment Examples

Examples of working capital adjustment:

  • Example 1. Defined as working assets minus working expenses
  • Example 2. A judge or arbitrator can be consulted to settle disputes

Contracts Counsel was incredibly helpful and easy to use. I submitted a project for a lawyer's help within a day I had received over 6 proposals from qualified lawyers. I submitted a bid that works best for my business and we went forward with the project.

I never knew how difficult it was to obtain representation or a lawyer, and ContractsCounsel was EXACTLY the type of service I was hoping for when I was in a pinch. Working with their service was efficient, effective and made me feel in control. Thank you so much and should I ever need attorney services down the road, I'll certainly be a repeat customer.

I got 5 bids within 24h of posting my project. I choose the person who provided the most detailed and relevant intro letter, highlighting their experience relevant to my project. I am very satisfied with the outcome and quality of the two agreements that were produced, they actually far exceed my expectations.
