UNEXPECTED EVENTS FINANCING
How prepared is your business for an unexpected event?
Unexpected expenses and opportunities are part of running a business—whether it’s emergency equipment repairs, a sudden customer default, or the chance to take on a large new project. That’s where cash on hand comes in. It refers to the liquid capital your business can access quickly—whether for emergencies or strategic investments. Think of it as your financial buffer.
NOTE
The current ratio shows how many times your business’ current or liquid assets can cover its short-term debt or unexpected events.
A current ratio of 1.2 to 1 or higher generally provides a strong enough cushion to weather unexpected events. A current ratio that is lower than the industry average may indicate a higher risk of distress or default.
In times of economic uncertainty, most businesses prefer a higher current ratio of 2 to 1 or 3 to 1.
Leveraging eCapital’s creative financing solutions will allow you to quickly improve your current ratio and better prepare your business for unexpected events.
DIVE DEEPER
What is unexpected events financing?
Unexpected event financing is a form of fast, flexible funding designed to help businesses respond to unforeseen challenges or sudden opportunities—like equipment breakdowns, customer defaults, supply chain disruptions, or unexpected growth. Think of it as rainy-day funding for your business—capital that’s ready when things don’t go as planned.
Just like a personal emergency fund, unexpected event financing gives your business a financial cushion. It ensures you can cover urgent expenses, seize time-sensitive opportunities, or maintain operations during a disruption—without derailing your long-term strategy or cash flow. It’s not about planning for failure—it’s about being prepared for real-world business volatility.
