C2FO Joins the SME Finance Forum to Further Optimize Access to Capital for SMEs Across Regions

Washington D.C., USA  (July 8, 2021) — C2FO, the largest global platform for working capital, today announced it is joining the SME Finance Forum as the newest member of the global membership network. Members consist of SME Financing experts from over 80 countries, all of whom share the common goal of expanding access to finance to small businesses worldwide through knowledge exchange and innovation.

“When we started in 2012, we were in an exploratory phase for the first few years. Since 2016, we’ve been implementing our mission to build a global membership to support better SME financing, and since then, we’ve established a network with over 230 active member institutions, which operate in over 190 countries sharing the common purpose of helping under-served enterprises. We are delighted to welcome C2FO to further grow our mission,” said Matthew Gamser, CEO of the SME Finance Forum.

By providing cost-effective access to working capital, C2FO brings fairness, transparency, and opportunity to growing businesses across the globe. Through their digital working capital platform, C2FO enables clients to accelerate or extend payment to their suppliers or customers, providing more flexibility and control over working capital for everyone in their ecosystem.

“Businesses worldwide need capital to grow, but they don’t have access to it at the right price, in the right way, or at the right time. At C2FO, our mission is to deliver a future where every company worldwide has the capital needed to grow. We believe that by networking with peer institutions and participating in webinars through our membership of the SME Finance Forum, we can further optimize our services to support SMEs across regions.  We also believe that we can work with governments to bring liquidity to SMEs, supporting their growth and the subsequent economic stimulus, via our unique National Working Capital Platform agenda,” said Colin Sharp, Senior Vice President, EMEA at C2FO.
