The Department of Accountancy of the Faculty of Management at the University of Lodz is conducting research on the market of loan and guarantee funds in Poland.

The aim of the project “Financing the operation of loan and guarantee funds” is financed by the OPUS grant from the National Science Center and it is to determine the degree of financial independence of guarantee and loan funds in Poland.

As part of the research, scientists from Lodz intend to conduct a series of analyzes, surveys and focus groups. The conducted research will allow to determine whether the loan and guarantee funds will be operated in the future on the current or even higher level when co-financing from the European Union programs ends.
