Ladies and Gentlemen,
Technology-based start-up companies are affected by the COVID-19 pandemic in a special way. The canton of Basel-Stadt is providing specific support for these companies in the form of a credit guarantee programme. The programme allows start-up companies based in Basel-Stadt that have run into difficulties due to COVID-19 to receive subordinated loans. Within this framework, guarantees from the canton can be granted to the total amount of up to 40 million Swiss francs. Basel-Stadt partners with the Eckenstein-Geigy-Stiftung and the Basler Kantonalbank (BKB).
This webinar will cover the details of the COVID-19 credit guarantee programme, the requirements and will include a Q&A part with the opportunity to discuss specific situations and questions.
Please submit your questions beforehand here to allow the speakers to prepare.
When: 14.01.2021, 13:00 - 14:15
