WHO WE ARE

THE FINANCE BOUTIQUE

GENERALFINANCE has operated in the financial sector since 1982, in Biella and Milan. For forty years it has provided enterprises with “custom-made” financing solution through the credit of trade receivables (as provided by the so-called “Law on factoring”, No 52/1991), and by managing them prudently. Such an approach allows clients not only to obtain the mobilisation of credits, but also to benefit from a proven improvement of the collection times, besides a considerable reduction in insolvency cases.

GENERALFINANCE provides flexible services to address a company’s issues related to credits, that can also involve clients and suppliers.

GENERALFINANCE offers specific professional expertise to provide financial support to companies “in crisis”, from the emergence of the first difficulties to the end of the restructuring process. It assists its clients during the organisation phase and the implementation of all the procedures provided by the sector’s regulation. It also supports them afterwards, once the crisis is over.
