Our business loan is an annuity loan where you can choose between daily and weekly amortization. With an annuity loan, the total sum of each repayment is the same, but the interest part is higher at the beginning of the loan term, while the amortization part is smaller. As you repay the loan, the interest portion of each repayment will decrease, while the amortization portion will instead increase. The repayment of your business loan then takes place automatically via direct debit during the term of the loan.

‍

In the case of loans over SEK 1.5 million, the loan is repaid monthly.

An annuity loan means that you pay the same amount at each payment occasion throughout the loan's term. The interest portion of the repayment is higher at the beginning of the loan and then decreases over time, while the actual amortization increases.

When you extend the loan, your old loan is combined with the new loan. So, you will not have different loans but will get a new consolidated loan with updated terms.

Interest rates and terms are individual and based on your business's revenue, history, and data. The interest is the only cost you will pay for the loan. There are never any additional costs such as setup-, invoice- or administrative fees. The cost of the loan is influenced by the loan amount, the repayment period, as well as your business's turnover and creditworthiness. To find out your price, make a non-binding application. If you get a lower price somewhere else, we will match that price through our lowest price guarantee. The guarantee otherwise assumes comparable conditions.

No, Froda doesn't have any setup fees or other hidden charges. Interest is the only cost of the loan.

No, you can repay the loan at no extra cost after you make your first repayment. If you repay the loan early, you will only pay interest for the time you have had the loan. The remaining interest is written off and Froda never charges any interest difference compensation.

You apply directly at froda.se. The only thing you need to do is fill in your contact details, identify yourself with BankID and adjust your loan according to your preferences. In most cases, we can collect all the data we need automatically and give you an answer to your application directly.

We offer up to 60 months of amortization period. You decide for yourself how long the amortization period you want when you apply, and how long an amortization period you can choose varies from company to company.

No, as a basic rule, we do not take any UC. Instead, we take information from Creditsafe that does not affect your company's creditworthiness.

‍

However, in the case of loan amounts exceeding SEK 5 million, we will take a UC on the company to supplement the credit report from Creditsafe.

If you have had your application approved, your offer is valid for 30 days from the date you received it.

You can view the status of your application by logging in to My Pages. In addition, we will always get back to you within 24 hours with an answer to your application and whether it needs to be completed or not.

Froda does not offer loans to start businesses but can in some cases offer loans to newly founded businesses. To be able to offer a loan to a new business, the business needs to have started sales in order for us to be able to make an assessment based on the turnover.

Froda offers business loans up to 5 000 000 SEK. On average, we grant a loan amount that corresponds to a month's turnover in your company (provided that the business is well managed). It may happen that you can borrow more or less than the amount you applied for.

No, you do not need to prepare anything to apply as all the information we need to process your application will be automatically collected when you apply.

The available loan space is based on your business's latest transaction history and current loans, but does not take other parameters into account, hence why it's preliminary. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee that a loan will be granted until we have made a credit assessment on a complete loan application.

Our assessment is based on a combination of transaction data and creditworthiness. You do not need to send in a business plan or other documentation to apply for a business loan at Froda, as all the information we need is collected automatically. All you need to do is fill in your details, adjust your loan according to your preferences, and give us permission to see your business's transaction history from your bank so we can make a credit assessment.

The loan disbursement is prepared immediately after you have signed your agreement. Assuming you have provided the correct account details in the application, you will have the money in your account by the next banking day at the latest.

People who own more than 25 percent of a company are considered the ultimate beneficial owners.

If we have received all the information we need, we will get back with a decision by the next banking day at the latest. If we need more information, we will always respond within 24 hours by phone or email to supplement your application.

Yes, you can increase your amortization under "manage loan" on My Pages.

You can update your transaction data on My Pages. Under "update bank data" in the menu, click "update" and follow the steps to get an updated available loan space.

The available loan space is the amount we estimate you could increase your business loan by. The space is based on your transaction history and your existing loan but does not take any other parameters into account. The available space is only an estimate and we cannot guarantee that your application will be approved until we have made a complete assessment when you apply. The amount you are offered can be both higher and lower than what the space indicates.

Yes, you can pause your amortization at the "manage loan" tab in My Pages. Click on "pause amortization" and set for how many weeks you want the pause to apply. The pause is activated once you've signed the agreement sent via SMS. You can pause the amortization as often as you like, but for a maximum of 6 months. How long of a pause you can apply for varies from company to company, but all of Froda's customers have the option to pause for up to 8 weeks.

There could be several reasons for for having a red box on My Pages. For example, your application might have been declined, you might be behind on payments, or we might currently be unable to offer your company a loan due to a debt balance with the Enforcement Authority or similar.

Yes. You can at any time log in onto My Pages and make adjustments to your loan to make it fit your business's current needs.You can pause your amortization, extend your loan term, modify the repayment, make an additional amortization, or pay off your business loan ahead of time. When you sign in, your business also has an available loan amount that you can apply for. This way, you can easily see what financing options your business has if the need arises.

Only individuals with a connection to the company, such as board members or beneficial owners, can act as guarantors for the loan.

A personal guarantee means that one or more individuals take on the financial responsibility for someone else. For business loans, a personal guarantee is sometimes used as security for the loan where the owner, or someone else, guarantees the loan for the company. This means that the guarantor becomes personally responsible for repaying the loan if the company is unable to do so.

We approve various types of collateral. The most common is personal guarantee by the borrower, but for larger loan amounts, you can also pledge different types of collateral, such as a mortgage on property or a corporate mortgage. If you run a partnership or sole proprietorship, you are always personally liable for the company's debts.

The biggest difference between a bank and a credit market company is that a credit market company does not need to be connected to any payment system and therefore does not offer payments, card solutions, or transaction accounts.

You need to identify yourself with BankID when applying for a business loan in order for us to be able to ensure that you are who you claim to be and to know if you have the right to represent the company you are applying for. The credit assessment also analyzes your company's transaction data and in order for this to be done, we need your consent to do so. BankID is the solution Froda uses to carry out identification and consent to read transaction data.

A credit market company is a company that has permission from the Financial Supervisory Authority to conduct financing activities through the borrowing and lending of money.

No, Froda only offers business loans.

The guarantee means that Froda will always offer at least as low a price as our competitors. If in the last 30 days you have received an offer for a loan at a lower price from another bank than that offered to you at Froda, we will always match that price. The guarantee is otherwise subject to comparable conditions (e.g. amortisation and collateral) and covers only applications granted loans by Froda.

As several parameters play into the pricing of business loans, the interest rate can differ by several percentage points from loan to loan. Therefore, the average interest rate can provide a misleading comparison, which is why Froda does not use it as a measure. The interest rate your business gets is affected by loan amount in relation to turnover, duration, and credit rating, among other things.

You can download your agreement under “Copies of signed agreements” in the menu once logged in.
