Details
TXF is delighted to announce the launch of its inaugural TXF SMEs in Export Finance conference on 29th November 2017.
SMEs are the lifeblood of the economy, accounting for 60% of UK employment and $1.5 trillion annual turnover. However, many are missing out on the potential benefits that exporting has to offer. 1 in 6 UK SMEs actively export their products compared to 1 in 5 SMES in the EU. Why is this and what can be done to help more SMEs and smaller ticket deals access the financing they need?
TXF SMEs in Export Finance will look to delve into the heart of the issues in typical TXF fashion with educational workshops, intimate discussions and thought provoking debates. Please join us in London on 29th November and be part of the change.
