Loan financing

In collaboration with Danish banks, financial institutions, leasing companies and investors, we offer loans and guarantees to Danish companies across all sectors and in all stages of growth. We provide special loans to start-ups in the very early stage of their development to the more mature companies planning to invest in operation, development or change of ownership. We can also offer loans to companies in need of capital for expansion and export. You can obtain the loans directly from us or we can issue a guarantee which facilitates a loan from the bank.
