* Estimate.

Factoring platforms offer small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and freelancers the possibility of simplifying their billing and accounts receivable management processes through pre-financing or directly funding outstanding receivables. This allows small businesses in particular to have continuous liquidity during everyday operations and reduces the risk of defaults. Since classical factoring solutions are not attractive to providers and customers in many cases, due to effort and cost, FinTech businesses have specialized themselves in SME factoring to offer cost-efficient solutions via automated steps and online marketplaces. Some example providers in this area are Billfront and CoreFund Capital. Factoring services for companies who are not counted as SMEs and business lending platforms are not included.
