A.B.S. Factoring AG: from a start-up to a market leader

A.B.S. Factoring AG was established in 2003 as the spin-off of a cantonal bank with just three employees. Within 15 years, it has evolved into a market leader for full-service factoring in Switzerland. In the meantime, A.B.S. Factoring AG employs around 15 staff members at its headquarters in Pfäffikon SZ. Thanks to the international network of our parent company A.B.S. Global Factoring AG and extensive experience in the financing of SME, A.B.S. Factoring AG is able to offer fast, flexible and customer-focused financing solutions. In this way the company successfully competes against the big factoring players on the market.

Success factor: An SME specialist, client-focused and flexible

Our target group comprises small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) in Switzerland. As an owner-managed provider of financial services, we analyse every business situation individually and focus on the specific circumstances of your company. Our aim is to support Swiss SME in their role as backbone of the economy through flexible and customer-oriented financing.

Success factor: Equal partnerships based on mutual trust

From our own history, we are aware of the factors that drive growth and economic success. That’s why SME have been putting their faith in our services for years, and why they value us as a financial partner at eye level. The majority of our customers are active in the areas of trade (including exports), industry and the service sector.

Success factor: tailor-made consulting, not off-the-shelf answers

You won’t get standardised offers from us. Thanks to our non-bureaucratic and flexible approach, you can expect a tailor-made financing alternative specific to your needs. We are convinced that A.B.S. Full-Service Factoring creates added value for many SME, enabling customers to continue expanding and create jobs.

Key figures for A.B.S. Factoring AG

Last year, the average payment period for invoices for invoices of  Swiss companies was 34 days. In particular for SME, the trend towards ever longer payment terms is a major challenge. The constant struggle for sufficient working capital ties up resources and inhibits the pace of growth. Thus, Swiss SME are increasingly interested in factoring solutions. The figures of the factoring market clearly show the rising importance of factoring as an alternative to traditional credit financing.
