Find responsible funding options from CDFIs
Responsible Finance
Decisions made by people who understand your business, not algorithms.
Whether you're growing, hiring, securing a contract or smoothing cash flow, a Community Development Finance Institution (CDFI) could help, even when other lenders can't.
CDFIs offer affordable loans with fair rates and clear terms to growing businesses. They can understand your business and make a decision based on the whole picture; lend based on your story, plan and potential; and refinance higher-cost loans to save you money; provide support and mentoring.
99% of small businesses CDFIs lend to were previously turned down by another mainstream finance provider. CDFIs support all types of small businesses but also make a high proportion of loans to women, ethnic minority led businesses and businesses in disadvantaged areas.
Eligibility criteria
Responsible Finance providers carry out affordability checks to ensure your business is finance ready. Providers have their own eligibility criteria, but typically support SMEs with loans from £10,000 to £250,000 to start, expand or refinance loans.
