Working capital fills short-term gaps — inventory, receivables, seasonal cash crunch. Term loans fund assets and expansion with fixed repayment over years.

Key takeaways

Working capital

CC/OD for inventory, receivables, and seasonal gaps — revolving limit.

Term loan

Fixed amount for machinery, factory, or expansion — structured EMI over years.

Wrong mix costs

Using term loan for daily ops strains EMI; using OD for long assets is expensive.
