Your situation
You are an Austrian company planning to make an investment domestically in order to fulfil an existing export order, expand your export activities, or secure your supply chain.
You are considering one of the following options:
- New investment
A new investment enables you to increase your operational capacities, for example by adding another production line or constructing an additional warehouse. - Replacement investment
A replacement investment involves substituting an old machine with a new one in order to maintain or increase operational performance or improve energy efficiency. - Real estate or equipment leasing
You intend to finance investments in your operations through leasing. - Acquisition of a company
You are planning investments to secure critical production or supply-chain steps in the long term. This may include acquiring a domestic supplier, expanding your product range, or ensuring the continued existence of a traditional Austrian business.
The Exportinvest financing instrument is also available to domestic suppliers of Austrian export companies.
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.
