Description

The IB Cooperation Loan for SMEs in Saxony-Anhalt is aimed at existing commercial and municipal companies with their headquarters or operations in the region that are planning major investment projects or pre-financing. In close partnership with one or more commercial banks, the Investment Bank Saxony-Anhalt assumes up to 50% of the financing requirement in the form of a loan or guarantee credit. The term is up to 15 years, with a usual minimum amount of €1 million and a maximum volume of €10 million. The program thus supports, among other things, order pre-financing, the acquisition of active participations, the refinancing of existing loans, and the pre-financing of grants.

Eligible expenses include working capital, investments in fixed assets, or collateral for orders. A prerequisite for funding, in addition to compliance with the OSGV rating class 6, is co-financing by at least one commercial bank, securing the overall financing, and an appropriate equity contribution. Applications can be submitted informally at any time via the partner bank, with basic documents regarding legitimacy, beneficial ownership, and authorization to represent required. Due to the consortium structure, companies benefit from market-standard conditions, full disbursement upon fulfillment of all requirements, and equal risk position coverage. This loan offer specifically promotes sustainable growth and strengthens the competitiveness of SMEs in Saxony-Anhalt.
