The bankruptcy of ECapital, a crucial factoring firm, has intensified Chile's Sartor crisis, according to a report by Diario Financiero on August 21, 2026. ECapital, also known as Emprende Capital Servicios Financieros SpA, went bankrupt without a formal court resolution. The company's debt of CLP 46 billion owed to private investment funds managed by Sartor is a significant factor.
This debt was flagged in an analysis by an outside expert cited by Diario Financiero in August 2026, warning of possible bankruptcy for both ECapital and Sartor if not addressed. ECapital's troubles began in 2011, when it was established as a family business, specializing in factoring. The company faced financial instability due to this outstanding debt, and its collapse further accentuates the regulatory vacuum surrounding some factoring firms in Chile.
While the central bank oversees 74 percent of the market, other players remain unregulated. The incident adds to the Sartor crisis, which has already endured the most severe regulatory sanctions in recent history.
