Financing options provided by Brain Capital in Germany and the EU

FINANCING OPTIONS WITHOUT FURTHER FINANCIAL REQUIREMENTS – BRAIN CAPITAL’S EDUCATION FUND

Our financing partner, Brain Capital GmbH, offers a downstream income-related financing model aimed at providing access to pilot training for everybody. Once you have concluded a training contract with EFA, no further financial security (e.g., guarantee provided by a family member) is required. This financing offer is open to all interested parties who are EU citizens. Your financial aid might look like this*: You have basic capital of € 30,000, which you raise yourself (or via our financial partner Albatros, for example) and with that can start your pilot training. Brain Capital provides you with the capital for the remaining costs of your training of € 80,000. Repayment commences only once the minimum annual income exceeds € 30,000. From then on you will repay a fixed percentage of your income over a period of twelve years.

The specific repayment amount is contingent upon your income level – the more you earn, the higher your repayment amount will be, and vice versa (principle of solidarity). This means that the model adapts to your personal career and ability to pay. Repayment is only made in the years in which your annual income exceeds €30,000. After 20 years at the latest, you no longer have any obligations. You can find the most significant details in the attached flyer**. 

The contact persons at Brain Capital are looking forward to your message or your call and will happily advise you.
