Froda is a Swedish credit market company based in Stockholm, Sweden, founded in 2015. By digitising the business loan process, we have made it possible to help more companies with tailored financing based on their unique business idea and operations, at market-leading terms. Froda was founded with the ambition to be a responsible creditor, with clarity and transparency regarding fees and conditions, treating its customers in an honest, fair and professional manner. Froda offers corporate loans, savings accounts for individuals and embedded financing services.
Today Froda is one of Sweden's fastest growing fintech companies and has helped more than 50,000 companies grow. In addition to corporate loans, Froda offers savings accounts for individuals and embedded financing services through Froda Embedded. Froda is a credit institution with a state deposit guarantee and is supervised by the Financial Supervisory Authority (FI). The founders are active in the company and behind the company are many well-known investors, such as Karl-Johan Persson (HM), Nicklas Storåkers (Avanza) and Victor Jacobsson (Klarna).
The guarantee means that Froda will always offer at least as low a price as our competitors. If in the last 30 days you have received an offer for a loan at a lower price from another bank than that offered to you at Froda, we will always match that price. The guarantee is otherwise subject to comparable conditions (e.g. amortisation and collateral) and covers only applications granted loans by Froda.
At Froda, you don't have to choose between smooth and affordable financing, you get both. Through new technology and data-driven analytics, we have developed a service that is easy to use and saves you time and money. Therefore, we can offer business loans with the same security and affordability as the big banks, but without all the time-consuming and cumbersome administration. You also never have to worry about hidden fees, reminder fees or bond times. Interest is the only cost you pay for the loan, and if you want to pay it back early, you can do it completely free of charge.
Froda offers business loans up to 15 000 000 SEK. On average, we grant a loan amount that corresponds to a month's turnover in your company (provided that the business is well managed). It may happen that you can borrow more or less than the amount you applied for.
Sole proprietorships, trading companies, and limited partnerships becoming customers of Froda for the first time are granted loans of up to 100 000 SEK. Sole proprietorships, trading companies, and limited partnerships that are already customers are granted loans of up to 500 000 SEK if they apply for a new loan.
Interest rates and terms are individual and based on your business's revenue, history, and data. The interest is the only cost you will pay for the loan. There are never any additional costs such as setup, reminder, or late fees. The cost of the loan is influenced by the loan amount, the repayment period, as well as your business's turnover and creditworthiness. To find out your price, make a non-binding application. If you get a lower price somewhere else, we will match that price through our lowest price guarantee. The guarantee otherwise assumes comparable conditions.
Our business loan is an annuity loan where you can choose between daily and weekly amortization. With an annuity loan, the total sum of each repayment is the same, but the interest part is higher at the beginning of the loan term, while the amortization part is smaller. As you repay the loan, the interest portion of each repayment will decrease, while the amortization portion will instead increase. The repayment of your business loan then takes place automatically via direct debit during the term of the loan.
In the case of loans over SEK 1.5 million, the loan is repaid monthly.
An annuity loan means that you pay the same amount at each payment occasion throughout the loan's term. The interest portion of the repayment is higher at the beginning of the loan and then decreases over time, while the actual amortization increases.
When you extend the loan, your old loan is combined with the new loan. So, you will not have different loans but will get a new consolidated loan with updated terms.

Only individuals with a connection to the company, such as board members or beneficial owners, can act as guarantors for the loan.
A personal guarantee means that one or more individuals take on the financial responsibility for someone else. For business loans, a personal guarantee is sometimes used as security for the loan where the owner, or someone else, guarantees the loan for the company. This means that the guarantor becomes personally responsible for repaying the loan if the company is unable to do so.
We approve various types of collateral. The most common is personal guarantee by the borrower, but for larger loan amounts, you can also pledge different types of collateral, such as a mortgage on property or a corporate mortgage. If you run a partnership or sole proprietorship, you are always personally liable for the company's debts.
We apply personal guarantees to all loans that are less than 1.5 million kronor. For loan amounts exceeding 1.5 million kronor, we accept other types of collateral, such as corporate mortgages or real estate.
The biggest difference between a bank and a credit market company is that a credit market company does not need to be connected to any payment system and therefore does not offer payments, card solutions, or transaction accounts.
You need to identify yourself with BankID when applying for a business loan in order for us to be able to ensure that you are who you claim to be and to know if you have the right to represent the company you are applying for. The credit assessment also analyzes your company's transaction data and in order for this to be done, we need your consent to do so. BankID is the solution Froda uses to carry out identification and consent to read transaction data.
