The Interface Financial Group Celebrates 40 Years of Factoring Services at 10th Annual International Conference in San Francisco

BETHESDA, MD--(Marketwire - May 2, 2012) - The Interface Financial Group (IFG), North America's largest alternative funding source for small businesses, announced that the company celebrated 40 years of business at their 10^th Annual International Conference in San Francisco, California during the week of April 25 - 29, 2112. The conference included IFG representatives from seven countries including Canada, the United States, Australia, New Zealand, United Kingdom, Ireland and Singapore, who discussed the company's accounts receivable factoring services and the latest industry trends.

"The conference enabled partners and employees to celebrate our anniversary, and to participate in discussing goals for factoring strategies throughout 2012. The participants discussed current issues facing the factoring industry globally," said George Shapiro, chairman and chief executive officer, The Interface Financial Group (IFG). "And as always, we continue to make progress toward our goals in promoting and expanding our business in the future."

Along with a celebration of IFG's success over the past 40 years, participants at this year's conference also took part in discussions about key issues surrounding the factoring industry globally, which included popular topics such as due diligence for spot factoring transactions, marketing and reviewing case studies.

Alternative financing solutions including invoice factoring can assist small businesses that are facing the challenges due to the current global economic circumstances. In order to sustain and grow, businesses need cash on hand, and factoring has become a popular new alternative form of funding.

IFG offers invoice factoring services solutions that enable an SME to sell its accounts receivable invoices to a third party at a discount in exchange for immediate cash within less than 24 hours. Unlike a loan, IFG factoring services are the purchase of financial assets, or receivables accounts. There are no upfront fees and no co-signers required. IFG has no minimum sales volume requirement, and professional fees are competitive because each client's circumstances vary, which may have an impact on the fees charged.
