INVEGA Guarantees
Šiaulių Bankas is the first financial institution in Lithuania that started collaborating with INVEGA Guarantee Fund. Assessing the importance of services rendered by INVEGA for development and vitality of your business we suggest taking advantage of its benefits.
INVEGA guarantees the repayment to the credit institutions of the first loan instalment of up to 80% of the amount of principal in case of all loans. Repayment of the remaining not guaranteed loan amount to the bank is guaranteed through collateral offered by a businessman mortgaging property acquired from loan funds.
HOW TO OBTAIN A GUARANTEE OF INVEGA?
Small and Medium-sized Business Entity (SME) applies with a bank or any other credit institution and negotiates on loan conditions. A credit institution, taking a decision to grant a credit, assesses the adequacy of security provided for a loan. If the security is insufficient, the bank applies with INVEGA for issuing a guarantee and submits required documents.
WHAT LOANS QUALIFY FOR GUARANTEES?
INVEGA issues guarantees for loans aimed at:
- tangible investments – purchase, construction, repairs or reconstruction of fixed assets;

- working capital;
- refinancing of investments from enterprise funds (no earlier than within last 3 months before the date of receipt and registration of the guarantee application). In such case the guarantee application must be accompanied by documents supporting expenses and payment.
