Description
Default guarantees from the Sachsen-Anhalt Guarantee Bank provide start-ups, small and medium-sized enterprises, as well as freelancers in Sachsen-Anhalt access to low-interest loans for investments, working capital, guarantees, inventory, real estate financing, and contracting. Reliable creditworthiness and the designated use of funds are prerequisites for a guarantee coverage of up to 80% of the loan amount, with a maximum of 2,000,000 euros. Terms of up to 15 years (or 23 years for construction measures) ensure long-term planning security. This funding thus enables the establishment or stabilization of businesses, facilitates business succession, and eases participations. The eligible equity share is assessed on a case-by-case basis to ensure solid financing structures. Applications can be submitted at any time through the house bank, which initiates the guarantee coverage with the Guarantee Bank after a positive risk assessment.
Flexible conditions and a straightforward application process characterize this guarantee program: a one-time processing fee of 1% of the loan volume (minimum 400 euros) is due upon issuance of the guarantee declaration, and the ongoing guarantee commission amounts to 1.50% p.a. The house bank may also opt for digital application submission. Comprehensive advice and individual support from the Guarantee Bank assist with questions regarding equity and repayment planning. After contract conclusion, the guarantee is dynamically linked to the house bank’s repayment schedule: loan and commission installments are allocated proportionally between guaranteed and non-guaranteed financing portions. Once established, guarantees remain effective until the final loan repayment and can be flexibly adjusted in special cases. Thus, default guarantees in Sachsen-Anhalt provide businesses with financial leeway for sustainable growth and stability.
