Guarantees

When your company lacks the collateral required by the financier, Finnvera's partial guarantee can be the solution for financing your business.

We guarantee that your business will develop and continue

Your company may use the guarantees we provide as collateral for credit and other liability commitments received from banks or other financiers. Finnvera complements the financial markets and does not compete as a financing provider with other financiers, but shares the risk inherent in the financing. The State of Finland is responsible for the guarantees granted by Finnvera. Check out our guarantee products below.
