About Loans for Business Angels Co-financed Projects

Loans for the implementation of new and perspective projects, financed by ‘business angels’.

The aim of the joint pilot project of ALTUM and the association “Latvian Business Angel Network” (“LBAN”) is to provide support to start-ups and enterprises with growth potential, thereby facilitating attraction of private investors for viable projects.
The pilot project will be implemented until 1 April 2018, and the funds allocated for its realisation is 3 million. EUR.
Combining the support from ALTUM and ‘business angels’, the network allows financing or receiving larger amount of support to start-ups, when they lack co-financing and / or a guarantee for a loan with a commercial bank.

The maximum amount of the ALTUM loan for one project is up to EUR 250,000 for projects in the processing industry, if more than one ‘business angel’ invests in the project.
