Description

The liquidity loan from L-Bank supports medium-sized enterprises as well as members of the liberal professions in Baden-Württemberg in securing their ongoing financial needs. With interest-subsidized loans ranging from €10,000 to €5 million, working capital financing, consolidations, and business acquisitions can be fully financed. The goal is to ensure liquidity, create growth opportunities, and support succession arrangements. The maximum funding limit is based on a viable overall economic concept, which must be confirmed by the house bank. The loan is available for repayment over 4 to 20 years and offers flexible fixed interest periods and grace periods; for credit lines without sufficient collateral, guarantees can be obtained on favorable terms.

Funding is provided to companies with up to 500 employees and self-employed professionals with a registered office or place of business in Baden-Württemberg, provided they comply with environmental and social standards. Pure investment projects, projects without a state reference, or standalone fossil fuel heating boilers from 01/01/2025 are excluded. Evaluation is based on creditworthiness, the value of the loan collateral, and the viability of the overall concept; a 100% funding rate is possible. Applications can be submitted at any time through the house bank. Applicants submit, among other documents, form WF_1001, the aid application WF_1301, the program information sheet, and the terms overview as part of the house bank procedure. After positive review, the house bank disburses the subsidized loan and manages the further process, including proof of use and monitoring.
