EIF finance encourages investments

Together with the European Investment Fund (EIF), OP provides your company with two risk-sharing guarantee facilities to facilitate the availability of financing. The EIF’s risk-sharing guarantee facility is aimed at boosting investments and improving the availability of financing to SMEs.

Benefits from the EIF risk-sharing guarantee for your company

  • Opportunity to get loan at lower-cost.
  • The EIF’s 50 percent or 80 percent risk-sharing guarantee facility reduces your company’s collateral requirement and financing risk associated with your project.
  • Negotiating the loan and receiving the risk-sharing guarantee facility are available through OP on a one-stop-shop basis.

Does the risk-sharing guarantee suit your company?

EIF financing is targeted at unlisted SMEs in need of financing for profitable investments and working capital.

InnovFin risk-sharing guarantee is a good financing solution, especially when your company is growing fast or is innovative and invests significantly in product, service and process development. The risk-sharing guarantee facility suits companies with a staff of less than 3 000.

Initiative risk-sharing guarantee is suitable for SMEs to finance investments on a more extensive basis employing less than 250 people. The risk-sharing guarantee facility is restricted by government aid granted within three financial years through De minimis regulation.
