The National Guarantee Programme helps sole traders and small and medium-sized enterprises to secure more favourable terms and facilitate access to external financing for both investment and operating expenditure. Its aim is to support the effective and strategic development of businesses and their financing.

The National Guarantee can be used for a wide range of purposes, from the acquisition and refurbishment of fixed assets, property, buildings, machinery, production lines and technology, through the financing of operating expenses and the purchase of stock, to the long-term management of stock control.

Applications are being accepted from 18 December 2025.
