Spanish term or phrase: necesidades operativas de financiación
Hello,
This is for an instructional text on finance from Spanish (Spain) into English (US).

El FM puede dividirse en dos componentes: las necesidades operativas de financiación (NOF) y los recursos líquidos netos (RLN), agrupando las operaciones relacionadas con la explotación y las que están relacionadas con operaciones financieras, pues dentro del activo circulante y del pasivo circulante pueden distinguirse activos y pasivos de la explotación (o funcionales)

(FM=fondo de maniobra/working capital)

RLN I would take as Net Liquid Assets (NLA), but I'm unsure about NOF.

Thanks!

working capital loans


Explanation:
The companies whose net receipts are below working capital must borrow money to meet all their short term outlays. Those borrowings are called working capital loans.

As a result, one can say that working capital = working capital loans plus net receipts. This identity is the one presented by Asker (El FM puede dividirse en dos componentes: las necesidades operativas de financiación (NOF) y los recursos líquidos netos (RLN))

Below is a definition of working capital loan and 'fondo de maniobra'.

What Is a Working Capital Loan?

A working capital loan is a loan that is taken to finance a company's everyday operations. These loans are not used to buy long-term assets or investments and are, instead, used to provide the working capital that covers a company's short-term operational needs.

Those needs can include costs such as payroll, rent, and debt payments. In this way, working capital loans are simply corporate debt borrowings that are used by a company to finance its daily operations.

El fondo de maniobra variará según el momento del año debido a la actividad que desarrolla la empresa. Por lo tanto, su control es muy importante para garantizar la liquidez y solvencia de una empresa a corto plazo, pilares fundamentales en materia financiera.

También es conocido como fondo de rotación, capital circulante o por su nombre en inglés, WORKING CAPITAL. El capital circulante es muy importante ya que es el que permite a la empresa afrontar sus deudas de los próximos 12 meses.

disagree  AllegroTrans: "necesidades" clearly means "requirements" and not "loans" // please reread the asker's text SLOWLY and CAREFULLY
14 hrs
  -> You don't understand! Working capital is a requirement. The working capital loans are what companies that don't meet working capital need.//What Asker said in Spanish is what they call working capital loans in corporate finance; that's why I quoted Asker.

neutral  Luis M. Sosa: neutral
15 hrs
  -> What do you mean?

disagree  Taña Dalglish: Operativas de financiación=working capital. No "same anything!" / Why? Because you are playing games, and this is done out of "vengeance/dislike; 2. I said it before, the term requested was "NOF", which translates to requirements, not loans (préstamos)!
19 hrs
  -> Translating is not following the letter of a text. Instead, it is about understanding a text in an original language and expressing it in a target language. You did the same by using working capital. So why refuse working capital loans?
