Financing for your business
Working capital. Investments. Real estate. Growth. We help you find the financing that fits your plans.
Capital should fit your plans. Not the other way around.
Whether you want to invest, grow, secure liquidity or finance a real estate project, the amount of capital is only part of the equation. Purpose, time horizon, your company’s financial position and the right capital structure matter just as much.
Founders Bank combines financing expertise with an entrepreneurial perspective. Together, we assess which form of capital fits your plans – from traditional bank financing to the question of when equity may be the better option.
Turning financing needs into financial room to act.
What do you need capital for?
Working capital & investments
Liquidity for day-to-day operations, new equipment, machinery, digitalisation or other investments. We assess financing solutions based on your specific needs and business situation.
Real estate
Whether you are financing a property for your own business or a selected real estate investment, we structure the financing around the project, the property and your financial position.
Growth capital
Not every stage of growth is best financed with debt. For suitable companies, we also consider whether equity, venture capital or private equity may be a better fit for the next phase of development.

SME loans for operations, investments and growth
Companies need capital for different reasons – from ongoing operating requirements and investments to the next stage of growth. Founders Bank assesses with you which financing structure fits your plans, capital requirements and business situation.

Real estate financing for companies
Real estate decisions are long term and capital intensive. Founders Bank supports companies with selected real estate financing and considers the property alongside your company’s financial position, long-term affordability and objectives.

Debt or equity?
The right form of capital depends on factors such as your company’s stage of development, cash flow, capital requirements, risk profile and strategic objectives. We consider these factors with you before deciding on a financing route.
Sometimes the right next step is not another loan.
Debt is not the right solution for every stage of growth. For companies with strong growth potential, additional equity can create greater strategic and financial flexibility.
Founders Bank helps you assess these options. Our Growth Capital offering is currently being developed. Our aim is to help suitable Swiss growth companies gain access to relevant venture capital and private equity investors in our network.
Which type of financing fits your business?
Different capital needs call for different solutions. The right approach depends on what you need the capital for and where your business is heading.
Working capital
For ongoing operating requirements and additional liquidity.
Investment financing
For longer-term investments in the development of your business.
Real estate financing
For selected owner-occupied or investment properties.
Equity / growth capital
For growth phases where additional equity may be strategically more appropriate than taking on further debt.
