I'm wondering if having a lower net working capital (NWC) is considered better. I'm curious about the financial implications and benefits, or drawbacks, of maintaining a lower NWC for a business.

When the net working capital figure is zero or higher, it indicates that the business has sufficient funds to cover its short-term liabilities.
