Safety Stock

Inventory a company keeps in order to avoid running out. For example, a grocery store may buy more apples than it expects to sell in case there is a sudden uptick in demand or if the next delivery is delayed. Safety stock is considered a drain on a company's finances because it very likely will not sell. However, it may be necessary for the smooth function of a business.
