Lack of up-to-date technology and complexity are the main reasons why securitisation has been considered the domain of large corporates. Recent reports indicate that securitisation is past the ‘pioneer’ stage and is growing rapidly, with nearly 20% of top European companies stating that they have securitised assets within their companies. The five types of securitisation used by corporate treasurers are trade receivables, whole company, vendor finance, future flows and property. Invoice securitisation is expected to emerge as a frontrunner over the next few years, especially for post-LBO/MBO companies.
