Ways to use a limit loan

Seasonal expenses
When a company faces major expenses before receiving sales revenue or other payments. For example, an agricultural company may need financing to purchase supplies before selling its harvest.

Stock and materials
To purchase raw materials, goods or other materials before receiving payment from their sale or a completed order. This may suit manufacturing and trading companies, for example.

New orders and projects
When a new job or order involves costs before the first payments arrive from the customer. You can use as much of the credit limit as you need, then use the repaid amount again once it becomes available.

Temporary funding needs
To cover gaps between company expenses and incoming customer payments, unexpected costs or smaller short-term investments.

Start with an initial assessment

Briefly describe your company’s financing needs, the credit limit you would like, how and when you plan to use it, and what collateral you can offer.

Based on the initial information, we can assess whether a limit loan may be suitable for your company. We may also need your company’s financial information to prepare an indicative offer. The offer does not commit you to signing a contract. If you are happy with the terms, we will proceed with a more detailed assessment and a lending decision.

Frequently asked questions

Who can apply for a loan from Holm Bank?
Loans from Holm Bank can be applied for by private limited companies and public limited companies that are registered and operating in Estonia and are not subject to liquidation or bankruptcy proceedings.
How do I apply for a loan?
To apply for a loan, complete the loan application form on Holm Bank’s website or in the self-service. Alternatively, you can email your loan enquiry to [email protected].
What information must be submitted when applying for a loan?
To apply for a loan, please submit the following information and documents to Holm Bank:
• details of the collateral (e.g. property details or a sales listing);
• a loan application confirmed by the company’s representative;
• financial statements: the previous financial year’s balance sheet and income statement submitted to the Business Register, and current year statements (not older than two months);
• bank account statements for the past six months;
• if the loan is secured by a personal surety from the owner or a member of the management board, the guarantor’s questionnaire;
• the guarantor’s bank account statements for the past six months.


Holm Bank may request additional documents or data to evaluate the specific project and make an informed lending decision.
Why is it necessary to state the purpose of the loan?
Indicating the purpose of the loan helps Holm Bank assess whether the requested financing aligns with the company’s activities, financial situation and intended use. This ensures a responsible and well-informed lending decision.
Why are annual financial statements not sufficient on their own?
In a changing economic environment or for fast-growing companies, annual statements may not reflect the current financial position. For this reason, Holm Bank requires financial statements for the current financial year, no older than two months, to provide an up-to-date view of the company’s situation.
What types of collateral does Holm Bank accept?
Depending on the nature of the transaction and the risk assessment, Holm Bank accepts the following types of collateral:
• a mortgage on real estate owned by the company or a related party;
• a personal surety from the company’s owner or board member;
• a guarantee from a legal entity with economic ties to the company;
• a guarantee from the Estonian Business and Innovation Agency (EIS) or the Rural Development Foundation (MES).
Does Holm Bank finance start-ups?
In general, Holm Bank does not finance start-ups. To apply for a loan, the company must have been operating for at least one financial year.
Does Holm Bank finance foreign companies or their Estonian branches?
Holm Bank finances legal entities, public legal bodies, and sole proprietors that are registered and operating in Estonia. In general, Holm Bank does not finance foreign companies or their Estonian branches. The company must have been active for at least one financial year.
Why does Holm Bank need information about the company’s beneficial owner?
Under anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing regulations, Holm Bank is legally required to identify and verify its customers and their beneficial owners. This helps prevent financial system misuse and supports a transparent and trustworthy business environment.
Why do I need to fill in the guarantor’s questionnaire when applying for a loan?
The guarantor’s questionnaire allows Holm Bank to assess the guarantor’s ability to meet the obligations under the guarantee agreement, in line with responsible lending principles. The guarantor must be financially capable of covering the liabilities if needed.
Why is the origin of self-financing important to Holm Bank?
The source of self-financing helps Holm Bank evaluate the legality of the funds, the company’s financial health, and its borrowing capacity. The bank needs to understand whether the funds come from the owners, are related to extended payment terms (including overdue debts), or are provided by other creditors.
Why does Holm Bank request the company’s bank account statements?
Bank account statements help Holm Bank assess the company’s cash flow, payment behaviour, existing obligations and ability to service the loan. The bank needs to understand whether the funds come from the owners, are related to extended payment terms (including overdue debts), or are provided by other creditors.
What happens if the company experiences repayment difficulties?
Temporary liquidity issues can sometimes affect loan repayments. If this happens, it’s important to contact Holm Bank as early as possible. Early communication allows the bank to evaluate the situation and work with you to find a solution that helps avoid arrears or being listed in a payment default register.
What is a guarantee and who can act as a guarantor?
A guarantee is a form of collateral where the guarantor agrees to take responsibility for repaying the loan if the borrower fails to do so. If repayments are missed, Holm Bank has the right to collect the outstanding amounts from the guarantor. Unless otherwise agreed, multiple guarantors are jointly liable.

A guarantor must be at least 18 years old and have sufficient financial capacity to meet the obligations under the guarantee agreement. In general, Holm Bank expects the guarantor to have a steady income and no payment defaults.
How am I identified?
To fulfil the due diligence obligations placed on us as a bank, we may ask you to verify your identity via video in Veriff’s environment. To verify your identity, you will need a device with an internet connection and a working camera. Please have your identity document ready and follow the step-by-step instructions shown on the screen. We will send you a personal link for identity verification to your email address.
