Description

The consortium financing by the Thuringian Development Bank strengthens established companies in Thuringia in their investments and working capital. By pooling several banks in a consortium, the TAB assumes credit risks in the form of loans or guarantees, thereby enabling financing volumes between €250,000 and €5 million. Up to 50% of the total amount is co-financed by the development bank. Applications can be submitted at any time through the respective house bank, which forwards the application to the TAB. Terms are based on the conditions of the consortium members and can be up to 20 years, with variable or fixed interest rates.

Eligible for funding are companies of all sizes located in Thuringia, whose establishment dates back at least three years and who can demonstrate a positive creditworthiness and risk analysis by the TAB. Standard banking securities must be provided. Investments in tangible assets, intangible assets, innovations, market launches, branches, as well as participations in Thuringian companies or share acquisitions are supported. Key evaluation criteria include the economic viability of the project, completeness of the documentation, and a solid risk analysis. Interested companies receive an individual roadmap for the implementation of their investment and working capital projects in a personal consultation with the house bank or directly with the TAB.
