From digital management solutions to financing, all can be done in our hands. Also, big data collected in digitalized workflows can be used to simplify and speed up the financing process. This collaboration with ORIX Asia fully demonstrates the potential of the invoice financing market. It brings tremendous support to the development of YOOV CAPITAL and enhances the trust of customers, giving us more confidence to provide SMEs with flexible and reliable financing solutions.”
