Implementing an investment requires large financial expenditures. By working with banks and loan funds, ARMS is also able to provide entrepreneurs with sureties, that is securities necessary for obtaining a credit or a loan. Therefore, it helps in obtaining external financing. This type of ARMS activity has been implemented since its establishment in 2002. As of writing, it allowed for supporting over 700 West Pomeranian entrepreneurs with sureties. ARMS offers bid bond guarantees, which can be used instead of paying a bid bond.
