Green Transfer Guarantee
Guarantee with a maximum guaranteed share of 80%, for a term of 2 to 7 years. Catalogue information does not confirm availability or eligibility.
It makes it easier to finance transfer projects for companies qualified as "Solution Providers" (Offreur de Solutions) under the digital token pathway. The catalogue presents it as a financing mechanism for this need. Before treating an application as eligible, confirm the exact product, beneficiaries, financial parameters and current conditions with the operator. A guarantee generally makes credit easier to obtain but is not a grant paid directly to the beneficiary.
