A KredEx loan guarantee is a boost first and foremost for companies who are looking to raise external funding but lack collateral, history and self-financing.

The guarantee can cover up to 80% of the loan, leasing and bank guarantee, with a ceiling of 5 million euros. There is no limit on the loan amount.

In cooperation with other finance providers, we can find a solution to complicated and large-scale projects as well.

Services for operating companies
 

A loan guarantee is useful if a company wishes to use a bank loan, a lease or bank guarantee but lacks sufficient collateral or operating history to be issued a loan.

NB! KredEx surety can only serve as an additional guarantee for a new obligation (bank loan, lease transaction or bank guarantee).

An industry loan is useful if a company wishes to use a bank loan or lease for making an investment but lacks self-financing. In such a situation, an industry loan, being a subordinated loan, can increase the company's self-financing in the eyes of co-financing sources.
