Description
Through the BMKB scheme, the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Policy is partly a guarantor for companies that want to take out a loan, but cannot offer the financier enough security (‘collateral’, such as buildings or machines). BMKB is also open to Dutch companies that wish to trade internationally or with parties abroad. BMBK may not be used to invest in foreign distribution channels (distribution channels where both start and endpoints are abroad).
Target group
Dutch SME entrepreneurs, including from the creative industries.
