The SNCI (Société Nationale de Crédit et d’Investissement) has put in place a “Special Anti-Crisis Financing – SACF”, for a maximum total amount of EUR 400 millions corresponding to a total leverage effect of nearly EUR 700 millions, including bank financing.

Who is concerned

This financing instrument is aimed at Luxembourg SMEs and large companies which have a business permit.

Preliminary steps

Loans from the SNCI are disbursed upon request of the client’s bank without further formalities.

Deadlines
