ART je podnik specializující se na poskytování půjček za komerční sazby firmám, kterým se
nepodařilo získat přístup k financím z běžných zdrojů navzdory tomu, že jejich obchodní
plány jsou zcela životaschopné. Kromě toho podporujeme růst firem a snažíme se je směrovat
správným směrem poskytováním podnikatelských rad. V žádném případě však neděláme
rozhodnutí bez předchozích konzultací se členy představenstva. Na čem nám záleží nejvíce,
je podpora firem, které by jinak stěží měly šanci obstát v konkurenci.
