The study reveals both the short and the long-term bank credits and their reflections on the cash, working capital and the short-term liabilities of the businesses in the long-run. The bank credits as a financing resource of the real sector (nonfinancial) businesses in Turkey with their effects on cash and net working capital are assessed in order to make comparisons on the total data of the businesses selected from all of the sectors for the case of Turkey in the long-run (1996-2014) in the study. The study endorses the strategic relation between bank credit usage and liquidity levels of the businesses so as to improve timely accessibility and creditability. In the findings, we confirm that cash-cash equivalents and net working capital have impacts on the level of bank credits in the long-term. Finally, the study endorses the strategic relation of bank credit and liquidity by inequalities. (C) 2016 The Authors.
