Mission & Vision

Bürgschaftsbank Brandenburg GmbH is committed to securely realizing entrepreneurial ideas in the state of Brandenburg. With expertise, industry knowledge, and a strong network of chambers of industry and commerce, chambers of crafts, associations, insurers, as well as banks and savings banks, we enable financing solutions that would otherwise fail due to lack of collateral. Our goal is to sustainably strengthen entrepreneurship, growth, and innovation and to promote regional economic development.

Target groups

Our funding and guarantee programs are aimed at small and medium-sized enterprises as well as freelancers in Brandenburg who wish to implement economically viable and successful projects but do not have sufficient customary bank securities. This includes start-ups, succession candidates, established businesses undertaking investments or growth projects, as well as companies seeking to secure short-term working capital loans or guarantee lines.
