Yes, you can be granted a business loan at Froda even if you have a record of non-payment.
‍
A record of non-payment may result in you receiving a higher interest rate and being offered a shorter term, but we place the importance of our evaluation on how your business is doing today and not how it has fared historically. However, if your company has multiple non-payment statements or if we believe that there is a risk that you will not be able to repay the loan, we may reject your application.

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.

Our business loan is an annuity loan where you can choose between daily and weekly amortization. Annuity means that each repayment is equal but that the interest portion is higher at the beginning of the term of the loan, while the amortization portion is smaller. As you repay the loan, the interest portion of each repayment will decrease while the amortization portion instead increases. The repayment of your business loan is then made automatically via direct debit for the duration of the loan.

No. We issue business loans to all businesses, regardless of size or business type. Whether you run your business as a limited company, trading company, limited partnership or sole trader, you can turn to us when you need financing. The only requirement we have is that the business is registered in Sweden.

If you are unlikely to be satisfied with your loan with Froda, you can repay the loan at any time at no extra cost.

Example 3 months: You deposit SEK 1 000 into a fixed savings account with a 3 month term and an annual interest rate of 2%. Since the account has a term of 90 days, the interest is calculated as: (2% / 365 days) * 90 days, which gives an interest of SEK 4.93 for the period.

Example 6 months: You deposit SEK 1 000 into a fixed savings account with a 6-month term and an annual interest rate of 2%. Since Froda Fixed 6 months has a term of 180 days, the interest is calculated as: (2% / 365 days) * 180 days, which gives an interest of SEK 9.86 for the period.
