SME financing | What is self-financing? It can be difficult for a young company to obtain financing because of the risk involved in the eyes of investors and banking institutions . However, an effective way to increase liquidity can be to optimize your cash conversion cycle.   Indeed, the faster you sell your product, the faster you can produce more of it to increase your profits. To do this, there is no need to take out a loan. Many start-ups today rely on self-financing. The operation is not without risks, but the benefits are worth it.                       

Guide to Business Intelligence – The Importance of Business Intelligence in a Business

A major and constantly growing trend in all business circles, business intelligence has proven its worth over the past 15 years. Data collection, organization of information, exploitation and analysis; business intelligence is now considered a specialization in itself in order to equip business leaders to make informed decisions.
