ING offers many loan types to meet your requirements. From conventional loans to crowdfunding or leasing.

Conventional loan packages

• ING Business Line: a credit line with an indefinite term. This package offers extra room to manoeuvre to bridge temporary cash shortages or to fund your incorporation costs such as start up costs, corporation capital, etc.
• ING Business Loan: an instalment loan for business spending or corporate funding (equipment, new machinery, buildings, take-overs, etc. ). You borrow a certain amount at a fixed interest rate.

As a starter you will not pay any upfront fees for both products for the first two years.
