Borrowing from us
Through the provision of accessible loan finance, Co-operative & Community Finance has helped to create and preserve thousands of jobs within the social economy and supported the set up of many new and innovative co-operatives, employee buyouts, and community enterprises.
Our rates are competitive, unlike many high street lenders we donft require personal guarantees, and our profits are reinvested to enable us to continue our work.
We currently have over £4 million of our own capital to lend, and can offer:
- Business loans with terms up to 10 years and beyond
- No personal guarantees required
- Loans for employee buyouts or company successions
- Loans for property or business purchase
- Loans for capital equipment and working capital
- Loans to replace inappropriate existing finance
- Broker deals on larger financial packages
As well as offering sympathetic finance, we offer free business support to our borrowers throughout the term of their loan.
Essential Trading is a UK based co-op that supplies organic, GMO free, Fair-Trade, vegetarian and vegan wholefoods. It is supported by finance from Co-operative & Community Finance.
