Government Schemes
If you are a newer business (established for less than 5 years), Government-backed funding may be the best way for you to borrow the money you need for working capital or capital expenditure purposes.
The Small Firms Loan Guarantee operates in conjunction with the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) and enables us to finance businesses that don't qualify for conventional finance, because they lack available security. These loans carry many of the flexible features of our mainstream products, including capital repayment holidays and fixed interest rate options.
Key features and benefits:
- Base rate-related and fixed interest rates are available
- Maximum loan £250,000, minimum £5,000
- Minimum term 2 years, maximum 10 years
- Capital repayment holidays available, subject to approval
- Borrowers will need to pay a premium to the DTI, based on the loan balance
