Establishment of a subsidiary, joint venture or facility abroad may be advisable, or even essential, when a company starts to seek growth outside Finland. When an undertaking is going international, its Finnish parent company may apply for Finnvera’s loans and guarantees to help finance the project.
Whenever necessary, any foreign investments associated with the internationalisation project can also be insured against political risks arising from the host country.
Finnvera’s financing products can be used to help finance a facility engaged in production, assembly, and maintenance or service. The financing cannot be used for establishing a sales office abroad.
