Instant Factoring, the first Romanian online micro-factoring company for SMEs, received 1.5 million euros from an investment fund in the United States.

"Attracting this funding will allow us to further support small Romanian companies and to contribute to the development of a healthy and stable business environment that is so indispensable to our economy and our country.
