Liquidity is a financial ratio, just like profitability and solvency. These ratios are used to understand the development of your business. Liquidity shows how well a company can meet its short-term payment obligations. So how flexible a company is financially.<\/p>\n
Calculating liquidity is important to see if your company can meet its payment obligations properly. A lack of liquidity can get you into trouble as a business. The moment you are unable to meet short-term payment obligations, you run the risk that, for example, suppliers will no longer want to supply products.<\/p>\n
When we talk about liquidity, there are two forms: static and dynamic liquidity. Static liquidity indicates whether your company can meet its payment obligations with current assets. Dynamic liquidity looks at the ratio of incoming and outgoing cash flows. To calculate liquidity, it is first important to know which form of liquidity you want to calculate.<\/p>\n
Static liquidity is thus used to see whether the company meets its payment obligations with current assets. That is, the assets that can be monetised within a year. You can calculate static liquidity in several ways:<\/p>\n
The quick ratio can be calculated using the following formula:<\/p>\n
Quick ratio = Current assets \/ Short-term loan capital<\/em><\/p>\n If the outcome is higher than 1, you can immediately meet your payment obligations<\/p>\n The net profit capital can be calculated using the following formula:<\/p>\n Net profit capital: Current assets – Short-term loan capital<\/em><\/p>\n With this calculation, you can see how much money remains after meeting your payment obligations.<\/p>\n The current ratio can be calculated using the following formula:<\/p>\n Current ratio: Current assets \/ Loan capital<\/em><\/p>\n If the result is higher than 1, you can meet your payment obligations. It is best if you have a value it between 1 and 2. If the current ratio is higher than 2, it might be wise to invest some of it in the business.<\/p>\n Static liquidity is mainly about the ‘now’ and dynamic liquidity looks mainly to the future. You do this by looking at the ratio of incoming and outgoing cash flows in a given period. For this, it is important to first make a liquidity budget and estimate what is actually happening with the cash flows. By comparing incoming and outgoing cash flows, you can see whether you can meet your payment obligations.<\/p>\n To improve liquidity, it is good to first see if it is a structural problem or if it is a temporary problem because you have made an investment, for example. If it is a structural problem, you can start taking several steps: Do you still have questions about liquidity or how to improve it with factoring?

Dutch fintech Factris has secured 10 MM EUR more funding<\/h2>\n<\/li>\n \t
This new funding will provide financing to SMEs via invoice factoring<\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nDutch fintech company Factris<\/a> has secured \u20ac 10 MM thanks to their partnership with NN Investment Partners (NN IP)<\/a>. This funding will be directly used to help finance trade-related invoices for European SMEs.\n\nAlready the largest alternative factoring company in the Netherlands, Factris has begun steadily expanding into the other European markets. Their factoring services<\/a> are now offered in five different EU countries after entering Poland<\/a> and Belgium\u2019s<\/a> markets in Q1 of 2022. Thanks to further funding, Factris is positioned to enter other EU markets soon.\n\nThe rising demand for invoice factoring from SMEs is evident from Factris\u2019 double-digit growth over the past year. For example, Factris\u2019 portfolio grew by 41% in 2022 in comparison to the same period last year, and over 32% more customers than the year before. This increase in demand for financing is due in part to both the war in Ukraine and the ongoing COVID-19 epidemic, both presenting major financial challenges to SMBs across the EU.\n\nFactris CEO Brian Reaves commented, \u201cWith all the problems European SMEs face, Factris is proud to be part of the solution. Thanks to more funding, we can increase capacity and offer alternative financing to new markets and more businesses\u2013all to help sustain and grow EU businesses.<\/em>\u201d[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=\"4.16\" _module_preset=\"default\" max_width=\"700px\" custom_padding=\"2px||4px|||\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_column type=\"4_4\" _builder_version=\"4.16\" _module_preset=\"default\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_button button_url=\"\/nl\/nieuws\/\" button_text=\"Back to the news page\" module_class=\"btn-back\" _builder_version=\"4.16\" _module_preset=\"default\" custom_button=\"on\" button_text_color=\"#001194\" button_bg_color=\"rgba(0,0,0,0)\" button_font=\"||||on||||\" button_icon=\"#||divi||400\" button_icon_placement=\"left\" button_on_hover=\"off\" global_colors_info=\"{}\" button_text_color__hover_enabled=\"off|hover\" custom_padding__hover_enabled=\"off|desktop\" custom_padding__hover=\"|||59px|false|false\"][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=\"1\" _builder_version=\"4.7.6\" _module_preset=\"default\" background_color=\"#000A54\" custom_padding=\"20vh||20vh||true|false\" global_module=\"2087\" saved_tabs=\"all\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_row _builder_version=\"4.16\" _module_preset=\"default\" custom_padding=\"0px||0px||true|false\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_column type=\"4_4\" _builder_version=\"4.16\" _module_preset=\"default\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_text _builder_version=\"4.16\" _module_preset=\"default\" header_font=\"|700|||||||\" header_text_color=\"#ffffff\" header_font_size=\"46px\" header_line_height=\"2em\" header_2_font=\"|700|||||||\" header_2_text_color=\"#ffffff\" header_2_font_size=\"46px\" header_2_line_height=\"2em\" header_3_font=\"|700|||||||\" header_3_text_align=\"center\" header_3_text_color=\"#ffffff\" header_3_font_size=\"25px\" header_font_tablet=\"\" header_font_phone=\"\" header_font_last_edited=\"on|desktop\" header_line_height_tablet=\"1.8em\" header_line_height_phone=\"1.4em\" header_line_height_last_edited=\"on|phone\" header_2_font_size_tablet=\"\" header_2_font_size_phone=\"32px\" header_2_font_size_last_edited=\"on|tablet\" header_3_font_tablet=\"\" header_3_font_phone=\"\" header_3_font_last_edited=\"on|phone\" header_3_line_height_tablet=\"\" header_3_line_height_phone=\"1.8em\" header_3_line_height_last_edited=\"on|phone\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"]\n
