Financing

Financing plans for start-up and growth

Developing a business idea often requires a lot of resources and capital. However, there are many ways to secure funding.

We can advise both on how you should think and where you can apply for different types of capital. We work with members in our programs to provide concrete advice and tips on grants, loans and investments. This includes, among other things, identifying the best types of financing to focus on, the criteria and process of application as well as hands-on support in building material and pitching to investors.

Why is it important to keep track of?

It is important to know how much capital is required to be able to launch and grow the company, otherwise the risk is that you will end up in a situation where you may run out of money at the worst time. There are different types of financing that are suitable for different occasions.

We help you tailor your financing plan to support you best.
