Description

The "Risk Partnerships" of Saarländische Investitionskreditbank AG (SIKB) offer Saarland-based companies the opportunity to realize investment loans, working capital lines, order financing, guarantee credits, as well as leasing financing with partial coverage by SIKB. In the four program variants Standard, Individual, Future Enterprises, and Municipally Affiliated Companies, the bank assumes up to 50% of the credit or leasing risk – up to €500,000 in the Standard variant. This relieves house banks and leasing companies, enabling them to grant lower-risk, low-interest financing. The support is provided in the form of a guarantee and is available at any time as soon as a credit or leasing financing for investments in a Saarland company is intended.

Eligible to apply are exclusively house banks and leasing companies that provide financing to Saarland companies and request partial risk assumption by SIKB. A prerequisite is the timely submission of the application before the start of the measure using the corresponding application form of SIKB. Subsequent coverage of already granted loans or leasing financings is excluded. Through this program integration, SIKB promotes entrepreneurial projects, strengthens the willingness to grant credit, and thus supports the sustainable growth of the regional economy. A comprehensive information sheet and detailed conditions are available upon request, while the continuous funding option ensures flexibility in planning and implementation.
