What does this mean?
MarketFinance’s main focus is SMEs, which were hit hard by cashflow problems when the pandemic took hold. MarketFinance says that the problems have not remained in 2020 and that businesses will still have a lot to deal with over the coming months, and it intends to support them through this journey.
