Financing and funding – a popular topic at AREA Bollenberger. We structure your financing based on success and financial planning. Alternative financing instruments are considered. The burden of interest and expenses, as well as the collateral, with or without the support of funding agencies, must be optimized, but also the monitoring of the company’s short-term liquidity is essential. Short-term liquidity planning provides you with an overview in good time.
Our goal is the optimal funding mix for your project. Whether your project concerns research, market development, investment or employee recruitment, we support you and also make sure you receive a subsidy for our advice.
