Pursue growth when your idea proves itself
Your business idea has launched successfully, your concept has proved itself, and now it’s time for the next step: growth.
This requires investment in hardware, software, machinery, staff, marketing and more. To meet growing demand, you need to rethink and reorganize company processes and workflows. Teams need to expand. Cash flow shortages may arise when strong order books require substantial upfront financing.

Growth financing
Growth requires investment in hardware, software, machinery, staff, marketing and more. Expanding your customer base substantially means meeting much higher demand. Company processes and workflows need to be reviewed and reorganized.
Cash flow shortages can arise when strong order books require substantial upfront financing. Existing teams face a greater workload, and new staff are needed.
Get funding for business growth
Whether you’re still launching and building your company or want to develop a business that has been established for longer, you need money and sound planning. We offer practical support to help your company grow.

Financing and advice for companies in the startup phase and young companies (up to around 3–5 years old)
Financing and advice for established companies (> 3–5 years old)
Reliable financing and equity support
Several points need attention to finance these plans reliably:
Excellent, detailed liquidity planning with built-in buffers is essential.
A substantial share of equity is needed to secure the desired overall financing with bank loans.
Your figures to date must demonstrate the prospects for expanding your company. Past profits should be contributed as equity to the financing.
Plan an expansion with ample capacity so that successful implementation does not lead to cash flow or supply shortages.
Various equity support programs can cover part of your financing needs and also improve access to the debt financing you need:
GRW investment grants to partially fund investment in fixed assets
Public equity capital, for example from NCapital GmbH, a subsidiary of NBank
GROWTH AND TRANSFORMATION
Growth and transformation are also important for the future of companies that have been established in the market for longer. Special funding programs offer these companies attractive help with necessary investments.
