Your odds
Not published

This funder does not publish a success rate. We rank it using the rate observed across similar programmes and label it as an estimate rather than implying we know.

Effort
major

Major bid — written case, budget, possibly partners.

Who can apply

Colombian companies; Bancoldex funds through intermediary banks and general access requires a company with at least 24 months of operation, so pre-revenue start-ups under 24 months do not qualify. The decision is made by the intermediary, so collateral applies.

How to apply

  1. Identify the applicable Bancóldex line.
  2. Apply through a participating commercial bank or financial intermediary.
  3. The intermediary underwrites the credit and rediscounts with Bancóldex.
  4. Disbursement.
