Factoring

Factoring

Factoring is a virtual transaction: receivables are sold or purchased. This business is a financial service requiring a license and supervision, which is defined and regulated in more detail in the German Banking Act (KWG Kreditwesengesetz). Factoring companies are subject to supervision by the Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin Bundesanstalt für Finanzdienstleistungsaufsicht) and the German Federal Bank (Deutsche Bundesbank).

There are a large number of variants as well as industry-specific solutions and very specialized providers. A special segment is health care factoring, the purchase of invoices from patients' own and private medical treatments.

The entire German factoring market has a volume of over 200 billion Euro p.a. (!) and has grown strongly over the last 20 years. The b2c factoring for medical health care professions as a special sub-segment has a volume of perhaps 8 billion Euro p.a. with few providers, strong digitalization, special laws for the protection of patients' personal data and very many, but small invoices, which are industrially processed electronically in masses.

Mechanical Engineering

over 10 years of experience in mechanical engineering companies

German mechanical engineering companies are successful worldwide. The recipe for success is leading know-how combined with reliable German cutting-edge technology. The engineering-based mechanical and plant engineering sector, as well as the special mechanical engineering sector in particular, are characterized by a very strong export orientation. This means that the commercial side is of great importance. Different laws, rules and standards apply worldwide and must be taken into account.

Also and in particular, the financial side has to be designed securely and appropriately. The risks of international business are many times higher than for business in Germany. Even in the European area there are many specialties. These higher risks have to be managed.

However, these challenges and calculable risks go hand in hand with excellent, special opportunities in new, large and interesting markets and very decent earnings potential.
