With a large export order, a lot can change. You suddenly need bigger warehouses, better machines and new production lines in order to take advantage of opportunities in new markets. With "Auftragsinvest" (Order Invest) or "Exportinvest", OeKB finances your domestic investments via your bank so that you can do even better business abroad.
Learn in our short video how we can help you with our Exportinvest within your investment activities (only in German).
Your situation
You are an Austrian company planning to invest, reinvest or lease domestically, either to be able to fulfill an existing export order or to expand your export business.
You may, for example, want to reinvest so that you can replace an old machine with a new one in order to maintain or increase operational productivity. Alternatively, you may want to make a new investment in order to increase your operational capacity, be it with a further production line or an additional warehouse.
Our service: Financing of your domestic investments
Your bank finances your investments, and we refinance your bank. This is how it works: As the agent of the Republic of Austria, we assume the liability with a guarantee by aval in order to relieve your bank of a portion of the credit risk. Thanks to the guarantee by aval, we can offer attractive refinancing conditions for the credit you get from your bank. Besides the traditional financing of your domestic investment by means of bank credit, it is also possible to finance real estate and movables leasing, which secures or expands your export activities. In this case, the Republic takes no risk.
"Auftragsinvest" for fulfilling your export orders
If you are planning your investment in order to fulfill one or more existing export contracts, the "Autragsinvest" is the right financing product for you. Prerequisite is, that support from AWS is not possible.
