Liquidity Guarantee (Large Corporates)
Finance your company with a Liquidity Guarantee for Large Corporates
Is your company impacted by the corona crisis and do you need liquidity in the bank in order to finance your company expenses?
EKF’s Liquidity Guarantee supports large exporting Danish companies whose turnover declines by 30% or more as a result of the coronavirus crisis. The guarantee will secure the liquidity you need to meet your payroll, supplier and rent costs for example even though your earnings have decreased.
This is achieved by EKF covering 80% of any loss your bank might make on a new loan made to you, to secure the liquidity of your business. This makes it more attractive for the bank to give you a loan. A Liquidity Guarantee can cover loss of revenue in the period 1 March 2020 to 1 June 2022.
Notice: The scheme is closed as of 1 June 2022 and you can no longer file an application.
