Description
An innovative combined program in Thuringia targets founders with low equity capital as well as small and medium-sized enterprises from all sectors (except agriculture) that do not have sufficient customary bank collateral. By linking default guarantees and silent partnerships, loans for investment and operating resources or development and market entry costs can be secured. Thanks to a default guarantee of up to 80% and silent partnerships of up to €250,000 per financing component, modernizations, rationalization measures, or business successions are supported just as much as start-ups, takeovers, and franchise financing. Inquiries can be submitted at any time, as application opportunities are continuously available.
The funding framework provides for a maximum funding amount of €500,000, divided into guarantees (max. €250,000) and silent partnerships (max. €250,000) with a term of up to 120 months. Approval is based on the professional and commercial qualifications of the applicants, a convincing business concept, and orderly economic conditions. Eligible costs include, in addition to start-up and takeover costs, investment and operating resources, development and market entry expenses, as well as expansion and modernization projects. Refinancing, restructuring projects, and companies in difficulty are excluded. A business location in Thuringia as well as objective and personal creditworthiness are prerequisites.
