“What is … ?” – Borrowed capital

In order to finance the start-up project, founders (usually) need additional money: so-called debt capital.

Depending on the scope and useful life of the planned investments, different lenders and types of loan may be considered, e.g:

• EU subsidised loans
• Subsidised loans from the federal government
• Subsidised loans from the federal states
• Loans from banks, savings banks and co-operative banks
