Guarantee
Last updated: 14.6.2025

The SIKB Partner Program of Saarländische Investitionskreditbank (SIKB) offers house banks and leasing companies the opportunity for partial risk assumption for loans and leasing financings granted to Saarland companies. It enables the hedging of investments and working capital, even for "future-oriented companies" during temporarily difficult phases, and aims to facilitate the financing of companies in Saarland.

Who is funded?

The Partner Program of Saarländische Investitionskreditbank (SIKB) is aimed at house banks and leasing companies that finance Saarland companies. The goal is to secure investments and working capital of Saarland companies by assuming financing risks, even during temporarily difficult phases.

What is funded?

Within the SIKB Partner Program, various financing projects of Saarland companies are secured. This includes a wide range of loans and leasing financings required for investments and ongoing operations. However, a retroactive risk assumption for already existing financings is not possible.

Type and Scope of Funding

The SIKB Partner Program offers risk assumption for financings of Saarland companies. The amount of risk assumed can be up to 50 percent of the loan or leasing financing amount, with different maximum amounts for SIKB's risk assumption depending on the program variant.

Conditions and Requirements

Specific prerequisites and conditions apply to the use of SIKB Risk Partnerships, which must be met by the financing house banks and leasing companies. This includes, among other things, requirements for application submission, creditworthiness of the ultimate borrower, and specific requirements for the "Future-Oriented Companies" variant.

Application Procedure

The application procedure for SIKB Risk Partnerships is straightforward and is handled directly through the financing house bank or leasing company. It is recommended to submit a preliminary inquiry with the usual credit documents in advance to ensure efficient processing.

SIKB Risk Partnerships are based on a specific guideline of the Saarländische Investitionskreditbank, which defines the framework and objectives of the program. There are also references to superordinate European regulations, particularly regarding the definition of "undertakings in difficulty".
