Seed capital is the initial financing – in the form of capital or a shareholder loan – for the creation of a new company or the start-up of business activity in phases.

Our objective from the area of seed capital is to cover the financing needs of new or recently created business projects with a high growth potential for Navarra. These should be innovative and be differentiated from products or services already in existence in the market, that allow an attack on new market niches and the creation of skilled employment for Navarra.
