Short-term liabilities are debts with terms of five years or less. These are also called current liabilities, short-term loans, or short-term (current) debts. These may also include short-term debts that don’t cause interest expenses.
For example, they might be loans from founders or accrued taxes (taxes owed, already incurred, but not yet paid).
