Our business lending terms are flexible and designed to respond to customer need.  Typically, the following terms apply:

• Loans between £500 and £50,000

• Loan repayment periods between six months and ten years

• Interest rate 19% (for social enterprises we try to keep the interest rate between 12% and 15%)

• An arrangement fee of 2% (minimum £100) is payable for loans above £3,000. If your loan is for below £3,000 then the fee is fixed at £50. Either way the fee is payable at the start of the loan

• A poor credit history or no credit history at all will NOT automatically exclude a client from borrowing

• Obtained a minimum of 50% from an alternative source or have invested an equivalent amount into the business

• Lack of security is not necessarily a barrier to lending.

• Capital repayment holidays may be agreed, where appropriate.
