Corporates

As an enterprise from processing industries, the industrial, trade or service sector, you need an experienced partner who develops appropriate solutions in dialogue with you and stands by your side – with a long-term perspective. We offer you appropriate financing and advice packages tailored to your needs.

Working closely with you, we develop carefully thought-out, viable solutions for your undertaking that take reasonable account of potential risks. We have the required industry know-how, years of experience with investments in developing countries, together with extensive knowledge about local circumstances and framework conditions. And we actively support and advise corporates with a need or wish for transformation.
