Many small corporations and sole proprietors have been hit hard by the corona crisis, and have taken advantage of real interest-free and unsecured loans (so-called “zero-zero loans”).

It is said that the loss of corona loans has already exceeded 19.7 billion yen*, and measures to support small and medium-sized enterprises other than loans are required.
The number of companies using “OLTA Cloud Factoring” is rapidly increasing due to the fact that the number of small and medium-sized enterprises that are having trouble with cash flow due to the corona crisis is increasing, and that it matches the non-face-to-face needs of the corona crisis.

Establishment of the Online Factoring Association (OFA)
On October 14, 2022, the “Online Factoring Association (OFA)” was established by seven companies that operate factoring businesses, including OLTA, with the aim of promoting the sound development of the factoring market. Since there is no business law related to factoring, there are factoring companies that carry out threatening collections and black money companies that pretend to be factoring (so-called “disguised factoring”), and service users are worried. I will come. OFA aims for the sound development of the factoring market by creating an environment where users can feel secure through the development of industry guidelines and publicity and awareness-raising activities for correct information. On October 31, 2022, the corporation was selected as a subsidized business operator of the Tokyo Metropolitan
Government.
Many regional financial institutions have already entered the factoring business through collaboration with FinTech companies. By working together, cloud factoring will be added to the series of services provided by regional financial institutions, and it will be possible to support SMEs through the provision of working capital. OLTA will continue to collaborate with many regional financial institutions and contribute to the development and revitalization of regional economies through the social implementation of innovative services such as cloud factoring.
