Mission & Objectives
Mission of the EUF
To act as a platform
The EU Federation acts as a platform for its members to inform the key legislative decision makers of the activities of the EU-based factoring and commercial finance industry and the finance opportunities they provide.
One voice
Representatives of the factoring industry will be able to speak with one voice, and members will be provided with an in depth knowledge of the different regulatory outlooks relating to the factoring industry across the EU.
To engage in a debate with main regulators
The EU Federation provides legislators and policy makers with vital information from the industry which informs and influences the regulatory change agenda.
