Applicants may have already been turned down for a loan by their bank, but if you have a viable business plan evidencing ability to repay any loan agreed you could be considered.

Loans are available for a wide range of purposes from working capital to asset acquisition with a view to providing growth capital that will enable new employment opportunities. SME businesses at all stages of development are eligible to apply, including new start and early stage businesses.

What is my role?

As part of the Debt Team, I look at funding propositions for businesses of all ages, shapes and sizes who are looking to grow, expand, consolidate or even get off the ground. My part of our business is to look at supporting entrepreneurs and companies looking for between £5,000 and £250,000. I lead on our Small Business Loan Fund which has enabled me to spend time with other small business lenders who are also part of the Responsible Finance network nationally. In addition, as our ESG Champion, I am looking at how our business can reduce its carbon footprint by working on a Net Zero project with the aim of reviewing working practices, energy usage etc to ensure we are playing our part in this critical area.
