On any given day, there\u2019s an average of $40tn in outstanding invoices worldwide \u2014 with SMEs often way down on the waiting list.

US-based C2FO is dedicated to providing businesses around the world with the capital they need to grow. The company began building a digital working-capital platform in 2008 and was processing payments within two years. Since then, C2FO has generated $140bn in working-capital funding and accelerated payment for companies in 180+ countries. Its clients include some of the world\u2019s biggest names: HP, Danone, Phillips, Siemens, Pfizer and Walmart. C2FO provides solutions for suppliers and enterprises, helping companies to accelerate or extend accounts payable or accounts receivable on demand, via an easy-to-use online platform. C2FO was founded by Alexander \u201cSandy\u201d Kemper, a former banking CEO who believed that the financial system was broken \u2014 with SMEs falling through the cracks. Banks tend to view large companies as low risk, while SMEs are seen as a less reliable proposition. SMEs looking for bank finance often have to deal with slow approval processes, a long wait for the money, and high-interest repayment terms. But with C2FO \u2014 it stands for Collaborative Cash Flow Optimisation \u2014 these hurdles melt away.
