Associated legal terms
Debtor days
A ratio used to work out how many days on average it takes a company to get paid for what it sells. Calculated by dividing the figure for trade debtors shown in its accounts by its sales, and then multiplying by 365. For example, a company with debt of £700,000 and sales of £12m, takes an average of just over 21 days to collect its debts. The lower the number of debtor days, the better. An abnormally high figure suggests inefficiency, potential bad debts, window-dressing of the sales figures, or deliberate bullying by large customers trying to improve their own cash management. Cash businesses, including most retailers, should have very low debt collection multiples, because they get their money at the same time as they sell the goods.
EMI (Enterprise Management Incentives)
An enterprise management incentives scheme is specific Government backed discretionary employee option'>share option scheme which, if operated correctly, can be very tax advantageous.
Joint venture (JV)
The term joint venture has no specific legal meaning under UK law. It is essentially a commercial arrangement between two or more parties who agree to pool their resources for the purpose of accomplishing an intended project (or other business activity). It describes many different types of situations that range from structural arrangements that create or change the economic control of a legal entity, such as joint venture companies or partnerships, to non-structural arrangements such as contractual joint projects and informal (undocumented) collaborations. A joint venture can be formed for one specific project, period or a continuing business relationship.
