ASF's Green Guarantee is a bank loan guarantee. It is a way of sharing risk with banks and credit institutions financing SMEs/SMIs. The maximum guaranteed rate is 80% of the principal amount of the loan.
An application for a guarantee must be submitted to the ASF by the credit institution (bank, financial institution, etc.) along with the following documents:

• Risk analysis report or assessment report prepared by the applicant institution; Business plan of the project prepared by the borrower, if available
• Certified historical financial statements for the last three (3) years, if the company is in operation; Legal, administrative and regulatory documents on the management structure of the project; and
• All other documents required for risk assessment.

However, the Company may also request, prior to its application to the lender, an expression of interest letter from the ASF, based on its business plan.
