UNDERCAPITALIZATION
Having sufcient working capital enables a company to sail through rough
seas and concentrate on steering out of the storm rather than fghting the
storm itself.

of-undercapitalization/
Without sufcient capitalization, companies are unprepared to ride out
slow periods in the business cycle, or to fend of a new competitor, or to
work through any number of shocks that bufet all businesses from time to
time.
In order to avoid future problems with undercapitalization, entrepreneurs
need to perform a realistic assessment of their expenses and fnancial
needs. [Emphasis Supplied]

coupled with a growing backlog of authorized, but unfunded projects.
Protracted appropriations delay delivery and exponentially increase costs.
Public authorities seek to extract value from existing assets
