Our Story

From a single client to a body of knowledge serving the Mittelstand

What began in 1996 as a small, one-person operation with a single client grew into an organisation with deep, practical experience in receivables-based financing. That hands-on history shapes how we explain factoring today: not as abstract theory, but as a set of tools that real businesses use to manage growth.

We understand the pressure of being asked for longer payment terms by customers while suppliers expect to be paid sooner. We have seen how that gap, left unmanaged, can slow down otherwise healthy companies. This website exists to make that knowledge accessible, in plain language, to anyone evaluating their financing options.
