FEI Loans: Funding for Startups

EIF loans are bank loans granted by financial institutions that are guaranteed by the European Investment Fund (EIF).

They are specially formulated for startups or start-up companies that need liquidity to grow their business. The advantages they offer compared to other financing possibilities are mainly: the speed in obtaining the loan compared to the long waits required by other grants or loans with similar conditions and their lack of requirement for guarantees from the company or entrepreneurs, since 50% of the transaction is backed by the European Investment Fund.
