Instant Factoring, the Romanian online micro-factoring company, is making strategic changes in its organizational structure to support regional expansion in Central and Eastern Europe.

Starting January 25, 2019, Cristian Ionescu, Chairman of the Board of Directors and Co-Founder, took over as the CEO and President of Instant Factoring.

Instant Factoring is planning this year to open two new branches in Central and Eastern Europe to strengthen its regional presence and expand online small business microfinancing operations.

In this regard, the company is making a strategic move, designating a CEO for the future Instant Factoring Group, in the person of Cristian Ionescu, Co-Founder and Chairman of the Administration Council.

In each of the countries where subsidiaries will be opened, including Romania, a Country Manager will be appointed as the person responsible for conducting local operations and implementing the business plan in line with the objectives set by shareholders and investors.
