Who requlates Qred?
Qred is registered as a financial instition with the Financial Supervisory Authority of Sweden, and our company and operations are regularly reviewed and monitored by an authorized auditor.
Do you save my password?

Come on, there must be hidden fees?

How is Qred different?
We've invested heavily in a modern, digital solution, with no expensive branch network. By automating data extraction and through smart analysis of hundreds of data points we are able to quickly get to an evalution of most businesses. As far as we know, nobody else in Northern Europe can approve and pay out a business loan faster than Qred. What's also unique is you only pay for each month you have the loan. Simple and straightforward.
What is Qred?
Qred is the new way to finance investments in your company. All businesses that are active can apply for up to 200.000 € without going to a bank. Your application is handled within an hour, and your funds are paid out the same day. You pay a fixed fee for every month you hold the loan, there are no hidden fees, and you can pre-pay when you want to (you only pay for the months you keep the loan). The monthly fee is set individually based on your company's qred-score. Each month you pay a fixed fee and a fraction of the amount you borrowed as amortisation. No interest or other fees. Convenient, right? Looking for inspiration, and how other companies have worked with Qred? Have a look at some of the company's we highlight and interview in our blog!
What does it take to qualify?
We do a comprehensive evaluation of every application. The critical element is your company's ability to handle the loan and manage repayment, and generate enough return on investment to justify your loan - that the loan's size is in proportion to your business. Sometimes we have to say no to applications, or approve a lower amount than you request. This might be because the company or owners have incurred debts they cannot repay or have a long history of payment remarks. That said, small or uncommon payment remarks need not be a hinder, and we always look at the big picture. You've provided incorrect information. The company's ability to repay is in doubt or impossible to demonstrate. Read more under security and borrowing responsibly.
What does Qred mean?
Qred (pronounced ”cred”) is a play on words with the word credit and the expression cred, that is to show someone respect or honor.
When will the loan be paid out?
The loan is paid out the same day after you accept our offer, as long as that happens by 16:30. Depending on holidays and weekends, there can be a couple of days before the funds reach your business account.
Qred is an expert in business loans and company financing. Founded in 2015, Qred’s mission is to power entrepreneurs and help businesses grow, invest and expand. We provide flexible business loans without start-up costs, hidden fees or hassle: exactly how business lending should be.
Signing up as a partner is as easy. Just like applying for our business loans is as well! You can simply indicate your interest via our Partner page by clicking on the button ‘Become a partner’ and provide us with your company details and contact information. Our partner manager will then take your application into immediate consideration and reach out to discuss the opportunities further.
Qred does not have a standard interest fee, instead, we make individual assessments for each company - offering them a personalised quote that best matches their needs. Qred does offer full transparency and easy-to-understand loan terms. For example, we have no start-up costs, hidden fees and don’t work with lock-in periods. Instead, customers have the option to repay the loan in full at any time, giving entrepreneurs the option to remain in control of their finances. What do our customers pay monthly? We charge a standard service fee for our loans (based on loan term, individual credit rating and amount), combined with a standard amortisation fee. Combine the two (service + amortisation) and those are the standard monthly payments, without unexpected surprises. Clear, easy and transparent: that is why savvy entrepreneurs choose Qred for business loans and financing.
Businesses that sell goods and/or services to other businesses, for example, lease companies, IT-services, inventory and business supplies, professional cleaners, financial advisors, etc. are eligible for a Qred partnership. If you or your company cater to the business market, not the consumer market, you can become a Qred partner and help other businesses find the right financing for your products.
As a partner of Qred you enjoy multiple benefits. Firstly, you are eligible for a commission on each successful referral (accepted loan). Secondly, a partnership with Qred is the ideal opportunity to expand your business reach and broaden your customer base. For example, do you sell goods or services to other businesses, like company vehicles, IT-services or supplies? Then a partnership with Qred helps your customers find quick and reliable financing to purchase your products. Our partners help other businesses grow, invest and innovate, whilst getting rewarded for it: it’s a win-win-situation for all.

All companies may need some extra cash from time to time. We want it to be easy, fast and safe to get a business loan. That’s why we started Qred.
From the start, Qred received a fantastic reception from tens of thousands of small businesses. It feels almost unreal that it is actually possible to challenge the old established banks without being particularly large or strong. My conclusion is that heart and ambition mean more than muscle and tradition.
We are today one of the fastest growing fin-tech companies in the Nordic region, and we have already lent over SEK 2 billion to the smallest companies. It is money that comes in handy – many of our customers stand without traditional bank financing, even though they are run by competent and skilled contractors.
The banks are stuck in a costly costume and small business owners are seen as inconveniences, and not as partners. According to a recent survey, only every 10th company with up to 20 employees has loans from the bank. At the same time, over 80% of all new jobs in Sweden are created today by small companies.
Qred offers loans to small companies in the Nordic region and in the Netherlands. The loans are relatively small (up to around SEK 1 million), and have relatively short maturities (the loans are normally repaid with up to 12 monthly instalments). By limiting the loan amounts and the credit period, we keep the risk down.
Thanks to our unique scoring model and our large and diversified customer base, we have relatively small and very predictable loan losses, which in turn leads to good profitability.
