AIP and Five Credit established a strategic
partnership that aims to disseminate and facilitate access for national
companies to an innovative financing solution. This agreement will allow Small
and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) across the country to learn about and use
these new lines of credit, designed to meet their financial needs in an agile
and efficient way.
Five Credit offers a financing model fully
designed for SMEs with more than three years of activity. Regulated by the
Securities Market Commission, Five Credit operates with an exclusive credit
fund and the first to be approved in Portugal, offering two types of financial
solutions: medium-term financing, with amounts between 25 thousand and 500
thousand euros , and payment period of up to five years; and a short-term one,
focused on cash needs, and amounts of up to € 250 thousand.
AIP will play an essential role in supporting SMEs, assisting them in the application process for these lines of financing. SMEs will be able to obtain an answer about their eligibility to access financing within a very short period of time, within five days, facilitating the management of their financial resources.
From November 14th, AIP and Five Credit will
launch a national roadshow with presentation sessions for these financial
solutions. The event starts in Leiria and will continue through several cities
throughout 2024, including Caldas da Rainha, Loures, Almada, Águeda, Famalicão,
Ponte de Lima, Maia, Torres Novas, Fundão, Mangualde and Cantanhede. At the
beginning of 2025, other locations will be added to the itinerary.
With this partnership, AIP and Five Credit intend to contribute to the strengthening of Portuguese SMEs, promoting access to fast, flexible financing solutions adjusted to their needs
