The Situation: A company finds itself in the enviable position of rapid growth — but with the unenviable and daunting situation of being ill prepared to manage an unexpectedly large increase in working capital needs.

The question on every one’s lips is, when a company finds itself in this position, how is it to conduct itself in order to make the most of its sudden opportunity? How do they handle the very real challenge of avoiding mismanagement, with the possibility of losing out on a real opportunity of growth?
