Principles of the
Upfront guarantee
and comparison with
the supplementary
guarantee
3
Guarantee consists of a fixed amount, not a percentage
Fixed amount : maximum 25 % of nominal amount of the bank loan with a maximum of € 500,000
Investments in tangible assets only (eg. buildings, equipment goods,…)
Value of collaterals (estimated by bank) must be superior or equal to the nominal amount of the SOWALFIN upfront guarantee
No full coverage of the bank’s net risk at credit issuance
Maximum term : to be determined case by case. Nominal
amount of upfront guarantee must never be over 80% of the
remaining balance of the bank loan (European obligation).
Fee: 1.50% of nominal amount of the upfront guarantee
multiplied by duration of the guarantee in full years.
Guarantee not supplementary => direct payement of guarantee
in case of termination of credit or eg. bankruptcy,…
