📊 Liabilities & Shareholders’ Funds Explained | The Deep Dive 📊

Ever wondered what a company’s debts and shareholders’ equity really reveal? Today we’re giving you financial X-ray vision—showing how liabilities and shareholders’ funds expose a business’s true agility, resilience, and potential for growth.

In this episode of The Deep Dive, we’ll break down:
🔹 Liabilities – the promises a company makes to others, from short-term bills (creditors, payables, overdrafts, taxes) to long-term commitments (bank loans & bonds).
🔹 Why timing matters – the difference between current vs. long-term liabilities and what that tells you about cash flow pressure vs. strategic borrowing.
🔹 Shareholders’ funds (equity) – what really belongs to the owners, from initial share capital to retained earnings that fuel future growth.
🔹 The hidden signals – why rising retained earnings often signal strength, while declines can be a red flag.
🔹 The investor’s lens – how these numbers reveal whether a company is simply surviving… or setting itself up to thrive.

By the end, you won’t just know the terms—you’ll know how to read them like a financial detective. 🕵️‍♂️

👉 Watch now to uncover the story behind the balance sheet and see companies in a whole new light.
