BÜRGSCHAFTSBANK SACHSEN GMBH

The objective of the Bürgschaftsbank Sachsen GmbH (BBS) guarantor bank is to specifically support business start-ups in the Federal State on their way towards self-employment and to accompany business founders as well as young entrepreneurs on their way towards independence. By integrating a BBS guarantee, it is possible to support those projects which would otherwise not be implemented due to an insufficient equity base or a lack of securities.

FEDERAL STATE GUARANTEE ("Landesbürgschaft")

With guarantees and warranties for bank loans and capital investments, the Federal State of Saxony supports the business community, freelance professions as well as agriculture and forestry. The Federal State accompanies promising projects especially when the usual securities and the requisite equity capital for third party financing are not available. Such a guarantee or warranty must be applied for at a financial institution (the principal bank).
