Description
The IB.SH Agricultural Guarantee supports full-time agricultural enterprises and small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with privileged biomass plants in Schleswig-Holstein in the realization of their investment projects. Through a default guarantee of up to 80% for existing and future credit commitments, financing risks can be significantly reduced. Guarantee amounts of up to €1 million are possible, and applications can be submitted at any time via the house bank. The maximum guarantee term extends up to 120 months with a consistent guarantee profile and at least semi-annual repayments. With this instrument, the Investment Bank Schleswig-Holstein creates financial leeway for investments in inventories, livestock assets, receivables, and fixed assets, thereby contributing to securing and creating jobs in the region’s agricultural sector.
Only companies with sound economic conditions that have demonstrably been managed healthily over the past three years are eligible for funding. Companies in difficulty as well as pure refinancing of existing bank liabilities are excluded. Evaluation criteria include creditworthiness and rating, the economic stability of the enterprise, and the potential for job security and creation. Required for the application are, among other things, an approved credit proposal with obligation presentation, a positive debt service calculation, current annual financial statements, and an overview of collateral. The IB.SH Agricultural Guarantee is aimed at agricultural enterprises and operators of privileged biomass plants in Schleswig-Holstein who wish to sustainably shape their growth while simultaneously strengthening regional value creation. This offer from the Investment Bank Schleswig-Holstein combines public funding with standard banking credit criteria to secure investment prospects in the long term.
