Private nurseries or daycare centres

To receive financing, you need to own a private nursery or daycare centre that is a member of the Panhellenic Federation of Private Nursery Schools (POSIPS).

Your business must be micro, small or medium-sized.

 

Starting at €20,000 by assigning the vouchers

You can get a loan from €20,000 to €150,000, using as collateral:

  • The vouchers corresponding to your nursery or daycare centre.
  • Personal guarantees of the organisations.

Repayment through EETAA payments

When EETAA transfers to the account you use as collateral the voucher money you are entitled to:

  • Up to 50% of the amount is used to repay part of the loan principal.
  • The remaining amount is credited to your main account. 

Interest is paid every 3 months by standing order from your main account.

For 12 months

The loan term is 12 months.

You can fully repay the loan early at no extra charge.

Floating rate

The annual nominal interest rate for the loan is floating based on the Euribor 3M + 1.90% spread.

The Law 128/1975 levy, currently 0.60%, is added to the interest rate.

Fees starting at €200

For us to review your application, you pay:

  • €200 for loans up to €20,000
  • €400 for loans from €20,001 to €100,000
