Description
The Mittelständische Beteiligungsgesellschaft Sachsen mbH (MBG Sachsen) offers small and medium-sized enterprises in Saxony flexible equity participation to implement growth, modernization, and innovation projects. In the form of silent or direct participations, MBG provides capital amounts ranging from €25,000 up to €1 million to finance business expansions, rationalizations, product or range extensions, as well as market development. This funding complements traditional bank loans and, due to the subordinated nature of the funds, improves the equity ratio and credit rating in times of crisis. The term is designed for a maximum of 120 months and can be applied for at any time through the applicant’s house bank or directly with MBG Sachsen, enabling applicants to act promptly and without deadline pressure.
A prerequisite for successful participation is a convincing business concept including a business or financing plan, as well as a personal (partial) guarantee from the entrepreneurs. Restructurings, debt rescheduling, or refinancing are excluded to maintain focus on forward-looking projects. The evaluation particularly considers economic viability, degree of innovation, and existing growth potential. Through this partnership-based support, applicants benefit not only from additional capital but also from industry-specific expertise and the extensive network of MBG Sachsen. This commitment creates stable financing leeway and sustainably contributes to strengthening the Saxon SME sector.
