The money owed to a business by its customers or clients for goods or services provided. This total amount is crucial for assessing the value of the business and its ability to meet its own financial obligations.

A common mistake made by prospective business buyers is overvaluing accounts receivable without adequately considering the probability of actually collecting the owed amounts.
