Equity Capital for Start-ups

This program is aimed at start-ups and young companies in Bavaria who wish to build a solid equity base for their investment and working capital needs. It supports both new formations and company acquisitions, as well as young businesses in their consolidation phase.

The program provides equity capital for investment and working capital needs related to business start-ups and the consolidation of young companies. The funds can be used across all sectors within the commercial economy.

Support is provided in the form of typical silent partnerships, which strengthen equity. The possible participation amounts and durations are clearly defined, supplemented by specific conditions for fees and charges.

For the application and subsequent funding, certain requirements must be met, ranging from the founder's qualification and the viability of the business concept to personal liability. Adequate equity contribution is also required.

The application procedure is straightforward: For an initial assessment, an informal concept along with a CV must be submitted to LfA Förderbank Bayern.

The program is based on a specific leaflet that defines the conditions and objectives of silent partnerships by BayBG on behalf of LfA Förderbank Bayern.
