Funding with resources from EIB
The program is implemented in partnership with the European Investment Bank (EIB) and provides access to long-term financial resources targeted at micro, small and medium-sized enterprises as well as mid-market capitalisation companies.
The product is designed with a focus on projects with a significant economic or environmental impact, with one fifth of its resources dedicated to green investments. Funded projects should meet the EIB's eligibility criteria and a specialized tool, the Green Checker, is provided to facilitate verification and documentation of the green nature of the investments.
Under the program, the BDB transfers the financial advantage from the EIB to the business, and due to that the financing is at lower than standard bank rates.
Who is the program for?
Micro, small and medium-sized companies, as well as companies with a mid-market capitalization that:
✔ Have positive equity
✔ Do not have overdue debts to credit institutions or the NRA
✔ Have no negative information - bad credit history of related parties, increased reputational risk, strong dependence on key customers or suppliers, etc.
✔ Not operating in EIB excluded sectors
