Description

The Klassik Guarantee from Bürgschaftsbank Brandenburg offers small and medium-sized enterprises, freelancers, and start-ups in the state of Brandenburg reliable security for their investment and working capital loans. In this process, Bürgschaftsbank assumes up to 80% of the credit risk with a maximum guarantee amount of €1.25 million. The maximum term is up to 15 years, and for commercial construction projects, even up to 23 years. Applications are submitted easily through the house bank, so financing projects are supported by solid planning and security instruments. Ongoing funding opportunities ensure continuous support from company foundation through to expansion.

Investment loans, working capital loans, and guarantees for contract fulfillment, warranty, or advance payment bonds are eligible for funding. Restructuring loans and subsequent securities for already approved financing are excluded. A prerequisite for a successful guarantee is objective and personal creditworthiness, a convincing earnings forecast, and a viable business plan. Assessment is based on economic viability, quality of collateral, and the amount of equity contribution. With this guarantee, the funding providers aim to reduce the risk appetite of house banks and promote sustainable growth in the regional SME sector.
