In all industries. But to start and run a business, you need more than one good idea. Capital is also needed and in many cases also support from experienced advisers. Almi's operations include loans, venture capital and advice in all phases of entrepreneurship - from ideas to successful companies. Loan Almi complements the market by offering risky loans when no one else does. Almi's role is to take a little more risk. The carrying capacity of the idea and the company's future potential are more important than the real assets. The ability of the contractor and the company to develop and take advantage of the idea or investment is also important. To compensate for the higher risk and not to compete with the private market, Almi charges an interest rate that is higher than the average bank interest rate. Almi offers Corporate Loans, Microloans, financing for companies operating in international markets and specially adapted forms of financing for innovators. Lending takes place in collaboration with other lenders and the banks are an important partner. Venture capital Almi Invest is Almi's venture capital company that invests in Swedish companies that are facing a growth phase. Investment objects are often companies in the early stages of development with scalable business models and opportunities for long-term value growth. The investments are always made together with a partner. Almi Invest consists of six regionally based venture capital funds that manage a total of more than SEK 1 billion. Advice Advice is provided by Almi's advisers or by external sub-consultants. The starting point is that customers should be offered the best possible service and competence based on their needs. Contact mediation is an important part of the advisory business. Almi's operations are regionally based. Based on the regional conditions and according to the company's own resources, the offers within consulting vary from region to region.
