SHF for borrowers

Supporting your sustainable transition

The Swedish Impact Lending Fund is more than just a credit source - it's a partner in your sustainable transition. Here's how we can support your company:

• Accessible financing: We offer short- to medium-term loans, for Swedish small and medium-sized companies that face challenges securing adequate financing and meet the fund’s lending criteria. The purpose of the financing can be, for example, expansion, an investment or a refinancing. It can also be intended to deal with temporary liquidity shortages. Please note, that to be offered financing, companies must meet both the fund's credit and sustainability criteria. 
• Sustainability drive: Our lending criteria consider not only creditworthiness but also your dedication to sustainability. We prioritize companies aiming for, or already leading in, sustainable development. This dual focus ensures support for genuine ESG transitions. As borrowers deliver on agreed ESG-KPIs they will be entitled to decreasing interest rate margins (given acceptable credit risk requirements).
• Flexible use: Whether you're looking at expansion, investment, refinancing, or addressing temporary liquidity shortages, our fund can be a resource.
• Clear expectations: Borrowers must demonstrate robust operating profit, cash flow, promising future prospects, and the ability to repay must be good. This ensures a mutually beneficial relationship.
