Berlin Start

The Investitionsbank Berlin (IBB) provides a low-interest loan through this program to support start-ups and young companies in the capital city in their establishment and growth. The funding instrument is aimed at all those who wish to start or expand a self-employed activity and have their headquarters or branch in Berlin. With individually calculable repayment terms and low interest rates, start-up projects and expansion plans can be solidly financed. The continuous application possibility ensures flexible planning without being bound to fixed deadlines. This allows capital requirements and schedules to be optimally aligned to establish a sustainable corporate structure.

Interested entrepreneurs must demonstrate that a planned or already ongoing start-up exists in order to utilize the loan funding. In addition to the capital grant, they benefit from IBB’s long-standing expertise in consulting, covering both business management and strategic issues. The loan can be used for investments in operational equipment, marketing measures, and infrastructure, helping to bridge liquidity bottlenecks. Through close cooperation with the founders, not only financial security is created, but also competitiveness in the Berlin economic market is strengthened. This funding offer is an attractive component for all those who wish to sustainably anchor their business idea in the metropolis.
