Long cycle: cash returns slower than it leaves — growth eats cash. Levers: prepayment/shorter client terms, longer supplier terms, less inventory, receivables factoring.
The operating cycle is the days from paying the supplier to collecting from the client. Profitable businesses go bankrupt through the cash gap, not losses. Each cycle day on UAH 600k turnover "costs" ~12–20k UAH of frozen capital — financed by credit or own cash.
