Capital Availability
Directly influences a company’s capacity to invest in new opportunities, weather economic volatility, and respond to strategic risks or disruptions. The presence—or absence—of sufficient capital affects everything from short-term liquidity to long-term sustainability, making it essential for managing operational efficiency, funding R&D, expanding market reach, or navigating turnaround scenarios.
What We're Measuring
Capital Availability measures how easily and effectively a business can access the financial resources it needs to fund operations, growth, innovation, and resilience.
This includes internal cash flows, access to debt and equity, financial flexibility, and investor confidence. We are essentially measuring the financial runway and fuel behind business ambition — whether it’s stable, strained, or scalable.
How We Analyze It
We evaluate Capital Availability using a structured approach that includes financial ratios (liquidity, leverage, cash flow coverage), capital structure analysis, and historical funding patterns.
Internally, we assess retained earnings, reinvestment capacity, and cash generation. Externally, we look at borrowing terms, investor appetite, and market conditions. Strategic levers such as risk appetite, CapEx vs OpEx balance, and timing urgency are also factored in to score capital fitness.
What It Tells You
Understanding Capital Availability tells you how financially equipped a business is to pursue its strategy and weather uncertainty. It highlights constraints, reveals opportunities to optimize funding mix, and signals when to raise capital or hold back.
For investors and executives, it answers a critical question: “Can this business afford its next move — and survive the unexpected?” Strong capital availability enables speed, confidence, and strategic choice.
