ready money
Cash on hand
Ready money is cash or funds immediately available for use, as opposed to assets that would need to be converted or credit that would need to be arranged.
The term emphasizes liquidity—money you can spend right now: He always kept ready money in the safe for emergencies.
Sometimes shortened to the ready in British informal speech.
