How to finance the growth?

How to get your business ready for financing

In general, this mainly involves using support schemes, obtaining equity and applying for loans. It can be difficult to get an overview of the different opportunities and what the ideal combination of equity and debt is. In this process, we want to be a good adviser as a bank.

From idea to growth – how to secure financing for your business

Seek support

It’s mainly about utilising support schemes, obtaining capital and applying for loans. It can be demanding to keep track of all the options and what would be the ideal combination of equity and debt. As a bank, we wish to be a dependable adviser to you in this process.

Loan

Loan financing is appropriate when you have the ability to pay down debt and the possibility to place security for the loan. Loans can be offered from the government, banks and private investors. Common to all of these is an assessment of the risk and your ability to repay the loan.

Crowdfunding

In recent years, crowdfunding has grown sharply in Norway. Equity-based crowdfunding or loan-based crowdfunding will generally be most applicable during a growth phase.
