[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The main risk that small and medium Romanian companies have to cope with is going into payment default by depleting cash reserves. This is the reason that generated the great interest shown these days in the SME Invest program, as well as more than 1 million suspended employment contracts.<\/p>\n

According to economic analysts, in Romania, because two thirds of the cash volume is concentrated in the accounts of large companies, the rest of the companies either do not have money or opt for the extension of payment terms to suppliers ( information here<\/a>) . \u00a0The situation makes the collection\u00a0 of backlog debts on average 80-120 days (even more according to some sources), and many companies become very vulnerable to a crisis, such as the ones we are currently going through (Frames & Train Your Brain<\/a> study).<\/p>\n
