An Amsterdam based fintech start-up Factris is evolving the financial markets of Europe with its innovative financial solutions. The company is said to help Small and Medium-Sized Businesses (SMEs) by converting their invoices into money in a span of just a day- 24 hours.
It is very essential for Small and Medium-Sized Businesses to learn and change with time. Risk is a crucial factor and playing with resources as a SME can take a toll on a small company. SMEs struggle with a lot of difficult situations such as being overwhelmed by the pressure of late payments.
It is assumed in most cases that an SME is a start-up where the operations are run by someone new to the business and the market.
Now imagine the ease if these SMEs had someone to guide them through their financial payment-related insights.

Factris is currently backed by successful investors such as Optima Investments, Speedinvest and other high net-worth investors who have also been a part of Series-A equity funding. On top of it, AB Ventures have joined the list by investing €5 Million in Factris.
