Company profile: AREX is a highly ambitious financial technology start-up in the alternative financial services space that aims to change the way small and mid-sized companies access short-term financing.In Europe alone small and mid-sized companies' lack of access to affordable short-term financing is a € 250 billion annual challenge that causes slowdown in the economy, unemployment and lost growth and investment opportunities. All attempts so far have been too complex or expensive in the trade receivables area to truly scale beyond niche providers. Due to breakthroughs in modern technology, machine learning & quantitative finance we've been able to develop a solution that converts these heterogeneous trade receivables into a highly liquid, standardized, non-correlated asset class that can be traded with extremely low overhead on the AREX exchange.We're committed in driving a € 25 billion annual decrease in the current financing gap by the year 2020 and our vision is to ultimately abolish that financing gap completely. AREX will empower SMEs to access affordable short–term financing and fuel their growth while providing great investment opportunities to investors in the form of this newly minted asset class. We believe that AREX can catalyze this revolution and drive an order of magnitude change in the pricing of this current finance industry backwater.
