Conventional financing - Public-Private Partnerships

You would like to use finance products which offer variable terms, combining adaptability and flexibility... You have investment plans and you’re wondering about a public-private partnership...

Whether you are looking to finance your day-to-day working capital or fund your long-term structural investments, the solutions we provide combine adaptability and flexibility.
Adaptability means being sensitive to the realities of your needs, your objectives and your limitations. With our financial products, you can use your capital progressively, over periods of up to several years. You can then consolidate in stages, using depreciation profiles and periods that correspond to the type of investments you make.
By offering you flexibility, we give you access, whatever the size of your  loan, to competitive fixed rates, as well as to more than twenty variable indices in the Euro zone.
Depending on your strategy, you can choose at any time to opt for a fixed rate or, on the contrary, take a forward position on the most advantageous index. Yet more flexibility with the possibility of  using cash surplus to make temporary loan repayments.
