The facility will be used to provide financing to Europe-based small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) via the purchase of their trade-related invoices, which allows companies to get paid quicker for their sales and thereby helps them to manage their liquidity position better. As invoice finance is proving to be one of the fastest forms of funding available to small businesses, it is becoming a valuable tool in helping SMEs to manage their working capital requirements. This has taken on importance during the Covid-19 pandemic, which has negatively impacted the cash position of many independent businesses, according to the official press release.

In addition, via combining NN IP's RI criteria with Factris's policies, the transaction ensures funding will be allocated towards more sustainable small and medium-sized businesses and sectors.
