Is your company on the verge of a breakthrough? Do you have ambitions for growth – also beyond Denmark? Scaling both regionally and globally requires capital as well as capabilities, and significant investments are often needed to grow – including across national borde
EIFO offers loans, guarantees, and in some cases equity, enabling you to carry out the crucial investments – whether that means establishing operations abroad, increasing production capacity, financing acquisitions, or simply taking the next decisive step toward greater growth.
Loans and Guarantees
We provide loans directly to companies that, for example, want to invest in new production facilities, develop new markets, or carry out a green transition. If you need bank financing, we can provide guarantees. We share the risk with the bank – giving you the capital to realize your plans, both in Denmark and internationally.
Capital for Major Investments
Large but essential investments can put pressure on liquidity, especially when you are growing rapidly or handling large orders. With EIFO as a co-financier, you can secure the funding needed to take on larger orders, invest abroad, or carry out acquisitions.
Equity Financing
If your company has a strong, scalable business model and ambitions to grow both in and outside Denmark, we can invest through equity.
Export Credit
EIFO helps you kick-start export activities or boost your existing export sales by securing financing for your customers. We assume the risk when the bank establishes financing for your customers.
EIFO is relevant if your company is facing expansion – in Denmark or internationally – and needs capital to take the next growth leap.
As companies grow, larger orders, new markets, and increased complexity often follow. This puts pressure on liquidity and can make financing more demanding. Here, EIFO can contribute solutions that make it possible to scale without slowing growth.
