The EU Federation for the Factoring and Commercial Finance Industry

July 12, 2016

The European Factoring and Commercial Finance Industry is a success story in supporting the real economy, growth and employment through the provision of working capital finance. Factoring and Commercial Finance (FCF) holds perhaps a unique position in the provision of funding for business in that it can fairly claim to be a real win:win for users and providers. Funding is made against the trade receivables (otherwise known as the debtors or sales invoices outstanding) of the user business, so there is no need for that business to be large, established and strong; the credit risk is distributed amongst the business’ debtors. This makes the form of funding especially useful within the SME sector, although in recent years, larger scale organisations have also increasingly been taking advantage of the opportunities this form of funding can provide.
