Why we exist
Financing challenges for small and medium-sized enterprises
Small and medium-sized enterprises account for four out of five new jobs in Sweden, thus forming the foundation for the country’s economic development and welfare. Unfortunately, over 50% of entrepreneurs find it difficult to obtain external financing to enable new investments and grow their businesses.
How we simplify the path to the right financing
One factor that makes it difficult to find financing is that entrepreneurs are unaware of which banks or other lenders offer the best terms for their specific businesses. We aim to change this by enabling entrepreneurs to easily access over 30 banks and lenders through a digital and time-efficient process. In this way, we ensure that more companies can realize their visions and contribute to the creation of more jobs.
Small business owners trust us
Will Brand AB
We are growing faster than expected, and our business webshop (www.willbrand.se) needed an uplift, while we also needed to prepay the production for two significant fall projects.
At Krea, it surprisingly works quickly, and you receive a pleasant and good treatment from their service personnel. The process was significantly smoother compared to the old-fashioned 'banking world'."
Pierre Gasslander, CEO
The Italian Cousins
We are embarking on a major expansion, opening two new restaurants. Krea's advisors helped us find the right financing, allowing us to focus on the expansion. It was time-efficient, and by having Krea compete with different banks, we also ensured favorable terms for the new financing.
Enrico Artoni, Founder
Saltö Marin AB
I found it to be a good way to compare different terms, especially now when major banks are not as interested. The process through Krea is significantly faster and saves time compared to going directly to the bank.
Mats Lindqvist, CEO

The Team
Our culture is characterized by
Sincerity
We believe that the group is smarter than any individual, regardless of age, ethnicity, gender, or position. To ensure that the best ideas and solutions are given space, we encourage all team members to express their opinions, especially when they have a different perspective.
Proactivity
We believe that the most talented employees thrive best in an environment with a high level of independence and responsibility. In return, we expect each team member to take on a leadership role by proactively and continuously suggesting and implementing new and progressive ideas that contribute to achieving the vision of providing all businesses with easy access to the best possible financing terms.
Transparency
We believe that trust is a cornerstone of all effective relationships. Transparency, in turn, is a prerequisite for establishing that trust. Therefore, we place great importance on ensuring that our customers, partners, employees, and potential new team members always feel they have all the information needed to make informed decisions.
