EUF Legal Study

The EUF Legal Study Update

Back in 2007, IFG and ABFA (UK) in partnership created a groundbreaking comparative study of the legal and regulatory environments for factoring and receivables financing in Europe and some other major markets

In 2011, the EUF took over the project and initiated a full update.

The present study is a compendium of the different legal, fiscal and other environments relating to receivables financing in all of the 27 EU member states and in 5 important non EU “benchmark” countries, Norway, Russia, Switzerland, Turkey and the USA.

The value of this study lies in bringing this important information together in one place for reference purposes.

To compile the necessary information, knowledgeable individuals from within the industry have been asked to answer a series of questions about their own national legal environment and the EUF is most appreciative of the assistance received from enterprises as well as national associations in the factoring, invoice discounting and receivables financing industry.

The study consists of 13 questions touching most of the areas of receivable financing and factoring.

Copies of the Study are available to interested third parties for the sum of €100 plus postage and packing.

Enquiries and orders should be directed to e.sergeeva@euf.eu.com who will confirm overall pricing including carriage.
