Soft Loan Scheme
Extra funding is often required to drive innovation. At Malta Enterprise, we understand this, and have devised a scheme to give your business the boost it needs, whether it is a start-up, scale-up or established operation. This funding complements private cash reserves and bank loans, injecting vital capital into your enterprise.
The Soft Loan unlocks up to €1 million to fund the introduction of new products to the market, aid business expansion, further the implementation of sustainable practices, and the streamlining of digital processes.
This scheme can cover up to 75% of the costs incurred, up to a total of €1 million, to be re-paid over a period of 5 years.
