Values

We have recently gone back to the drawing board on this one, and we are undertaking a series of workshops with our Staff and Board of Directors. Having now run the Staff session we have an emerging framework from which to work with :-

Open and Honest
- we value the truth
- we will act with integrity in all aspects of our work
- clear and transparent cost of borrowing (interest and fees)

Helpful, Skilful & Supportive
- we all achieve more by working together
- we will offer you personal assistance in all your dealings with us
- we understand that things can go wrong and we take a realistic view when they do
- our business is built through your success

Respectful & Fair
- treat everyone fairly; with consideration and decency
- we respect your confidences

Responsible & Realistic
- we will give you an honest opinion about your business proposal
- we will only lend to you if we consider you can afford to repay your loan
