SME InnovFin risk-sharing guarantee for innovative SMEs

OP has agreed on the SME InnovFin risk-sharing guarantee with the European Investment Fund (EIF). The risk-sharing guarantee facility improves the availability of financing to SMEs to make it easier for you than before to invest in your company's growth.

The risk-sharing guarantee facility is a good financing solution, especially when your company is growing fast or is innovative and invests significantly in product, service and process development. SME InnovFin risk-sharing guarantee means financing at a lower cost and reduces your company’s need for collateral because the EIF shares financing risk associated with a project with OP by giving a 50% guarantee for the loan.

Does the SME InnovFin risk-sharing guarantee suit your company?

  • Your company is an unlisted SME with less than 500 employees.
  • You need loan worth a maximum of 7.5 million euros (risk-sharing guarantee facility accounts for 50% of the loan).
  • Your company fulfils at least one of the innovation criteria shown below.
We will assess conditions for financing and guarantee with your company and make a loan decision. EIF guarantee facility is intended for profitable investments.
