Factoring is still growing in the UK. Figures from the FDA show the size of the industry has trebled in the last ten years. Total funding provided by the factors has increased from Ј1.3billion in 1991 to Ј7.1 billion at year-end 2001.
Also, statistics from the International Factoring Group (IFG) have shown that the UK is only second, behind Italy, in the volume of factoring carried out across Europe.
