摘要：
Previous studies show that a high level of working capital is harmful to firm performance. Using data from over 100,000 small businesses in Japan, we show that a high level of working capital has a positive effect on default risk and sales growth. Therefore, this activity has both positive and negative effects. Additionally, the relationship between working capital and firm performance is negative over a 1-year period, but positive over longer periods, implying that a high level of working capital is ultimately not harmful for small businesses.
