Working with Fibus does not cost more

Our remuneration is covered by the factoring companies as part of a business referral agreement.

We do not charge fees or “man-day” billing, except in very specific cases involving complex restructuring assignments.

As a result, working with Fibus does not cost more than going directly to a factoring provider – while also giving you independent support to structure and negotiate your financing programme.
