If a women's self help group gets a large order but lacks working capital what support is needed?

Correct answer: Short term working capital and order management

Working capital is the money an enterprise needs for immediate operating expenses before it receives payment from customers. A large order may require raw materials, packaging, transport, wages, and other costs in advance. An SHG may have the skills and a confirmed market but still be unable to fulfil the order if it cannot finance these early expenses. Good order management is also needed to plan quantities, deadlines, quality, and delivery.

Option A is correct because it combines short-term working capital with practical order management. This support helps the group accept a useful opportunity without creating an unmanageable financial or delivery problem. Rejecting every large order wastes a possible source of income, while closing the market or stopping training weakens the enterprise further. The issue is not simply production skill; it is the ability to scale operations responsibly.
