Why is international financing strategic for Swiss companies?

Switzerland is one of the world's most export-oriented countries: watchmaking, machinery, biotech, agri-food, energy and services.
But working internationally often involves :

  • long payment terms with foreign customers,
  • currency and counterparty risks,
  • significant financing requirements to develop new markets,
  • heavy investments to set up subsidiaries, factories or logistics networks.

This is where PrestaFlex comes in, offering international financing solutions tailored to your company's needs
