Foreign Trade Finance

When a Bavarian company expands its operations by adding locations abroad, this often has benefits for its headquarters in Bavaria. In such cases, LfA provides supports for foreign investments as well – by providing favourable refinancing through the universal loan product or by assuming risk in the form of guarantees and exemptions from liability. Assistance can be given to the planned investment, if this will result in a sustainable benefit for Bavaria, such as securing existing jobs or creating new ones at the location in Bavaria. LfA’s universal loan product covers, if needed, 100% of the total investment, up to EUR 25 million, with interest charged at the low end of the range of current market interest rates. The loan can be issued for a term of up to 20 years.
