All limited liability business, partnerships, sole proprietorships / traders, and more can apply and be approved a loan. It can be a proud, old business, or a brand new startup, large or small. We work with businesses in virtually every industry, from north to south - even businesses with a checkered credit history can qualify. We evaulate each business individually - the key for us is that there is a solid business idea and qualified business owners behind the company.
It's easy to apply and takes about 60 seconds, and there's no cost to apply. There are 3 easy steps:
Our loans do not have a separate interest rate. Instead, we charge a fixed amount each month you have the loan - there are no other fees. The monthly fee is individual and based on your company's qred-score, which is based on many dozens of data points and parameters and gives an overall evaluation of each application. As the loan has no lock-in period, you can pre-pay at any time and only pay for the months you keep the loan. That is, you can save significantly if you choose to pre-pay your loan.
No, as long as you choose the default option of PDF-invoice via e-mail. If you prefer a mailed paper invoice there is a 5€ charge for postage and handling.
You can call us at 09 424 503 99 or send an email to asiakaspalvelu@qred.com.
No, the fees are exempt from VAT.
You pay a fixed amount each month. If you took a loan on the 10th, then your first invoice will have due date on the 11th of the following month. We send invoices 10 days before the payment deadline.
You'll get a reminder, and we will reach out. It's important to pay on time to avoid late fees, and eventualy debt collections. Moreover, if you pay according to play you can typically apply for additional funds in the future.
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.
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.
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.
