Receivables Finance: An SME Solution in This Economy

In just a period of weeks, the COVID-19 outbreak has had a dramatic impact on the global economy. Consumer and business spending has dropped off significantly as people around the world self-quarantine. For small- to mid-sized enterprises (SMEs), the impact is particularly strong because they generally have less than 20 days of cash reserves.

In just a period of weeks, the COVID-19 outbreak has had a dramatic impact on the global economy. Consumer and business spending has dropped off significantly as people around the world self-quarantine.
