Commissioned by the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Policy, Dialogic will evaluate the Business Finance Guarantee Scheme (GO scheme) in the first quarter of 2020. The GO scheme aims to stimulate credit provision by offering a state guarantee on bank loans. GO provides banks with a 50% state guarantee on medium and large loans. The target group of the scheme consists of medium-sized, fundamentally healthy companies that struggle to obtain financing.
The aim of the research is to determine whether the GO scheme is an effective and efficient instrument and to identify possibilities for improvement. It will also assess whether there will be a need for such an instrument in the market in the future. In June 2020, the government will decide whether to continue the scheme.
This evaluation builds on the experience gained by Dialogic (together with RSM and ECE) in the evaluation of the SEED capital scheme, the Growth Facility, and DVI, an extensive study on the functioning of the Dutch SME financing market including the support of three expert sessions on this topic, as well as the evaluation of the Valorisation Policy.
