ABOUT US
FRC – Finance & Risk Consult GmbH (FRC) is an essential service provider in Austria on financing, investment, risk management and real assets and related services. FRC is the strong partner in financing and risk management matters for companies and municipalities. We have the know-how to develop together with our customers individual concepts and financial strategies.
As a result of the global economic crisis and a veritable banking crisis we have come to the conclusion to establish a separate service provider in the field of financing and risk management. The Rational of our actions are going to establish our experiences and motivation, a company that provides services at the highest level.

Separate
FRC is funded separately and therefore not exposed to any financial, legal or lobbying influences.
Transparent
Transparent in the process and reporting; we disclose all results, procedures, input data used and parameters.
Our clients
For us, every client is important: companies, municipalities, banks, financials, agencies, consultants and you!
Even the big clients need strong partners. FRC is acting globally. Nevertheless, we offer you as a quick and reliably acting provid the flexibility of a niche player.
OUR SERVICES
The evolution
The evolution has been successful. We have contributed a part. Benefit from our experience.
Fairness in financial markets – also in the calculation of interest; regular accounts examination helps to ensure proper settlement of accounts and not pay too much in interest.
YOUR BENEFITS
Fairness in financial markets. Not all banks settle fairly and correctly. Of course, banks are allowed to adjust the interest rates on current accounts up if it was so agreed. They have to cut back it, even if interest rates fall. By using finance calculation - and contract management software, we started to make this complex and complicated calculation processes transparent.
