JAKARTA - The public's need for investment and capital is increasing in line with efforts to recover the Indonesian economy and the growth of MSMEs. According to the business scale in semester 1 2022, MSME loans for micro scale grew 115.7% (yoy) to Rp420.7 trillion, followed by MSME loans for small-scale businesses which also grew 22.7% (yoy) to Rp 464. 6 trillion. The growth of MSMEs is one of the drivers of Indonesia's economic growth.
Loan Market as a financial aggregator contributes to Indonesia's economic development through the provision of various services that can be tailored to the needs of individuals and companies, one of which is the Invoice Financing product. Invoice financing is working capital financing by pledging an invoice or PO or SPK, and usually without any asset collateral. Invoice Financing can be a solution for MSMEs to keep running their business while waiting for payments (receivables) from clients / customers.
