| Net Operating Cash Flow (NOCF) | Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) | Cash Conversion Cycle (CCC) | Free Cash Flow (FCF) |
| This is the term lenders use to describe the cash your company generates from core operations, not including financing or investments. Consistently positive NOCF shows that your company is strong, can manage expenses, and has efficient income sources. | This ratio measures your operating income against your total debt payments (How much income comes in vs how much money is spent to cover debt obligations)
Most lenders require a DSCR above 1.25, which means your company earns 25% more than current debt obligations. |
This is essentially your inventory or sales cycle – CCC measures how long it takes to convert resources into cash flow through your channels. Shorter CCCs mean it takes less time to convert resources to cash, which is what lenders are looking for. | FCF is how much cash your business has on hand after its capital expenditures. It’s essentially a measure of your liquidity.
Lenders see FCF as financial flexibility and growth capability. Companies with an abundance of cash on hand are flexible in their investments and have a safety net. |
