Organisations new to loan finance Return to Which product is best for you?
Many organisations who apply to Futurebuilders are new to loan finance, with 60% of our investees having never borrowed money before.
That is why we place such a heavy emphasis on capacity building, professional support and working closely with you to create a package that best suits your organisation’s needs and circumstances. We will also never lend you more than you can realistically afford to repay.
But just because you are new to loan finance does not mean you cannot take on an investment from the Full Investment Fund. The majority of our investments are made from this Fund, and these loans-based investments of at least £50,000 could be just what you need to purchase a building or invest in your organisation’s working capital.
Alternatively, if you are nervous about taking on a loan you may be interested in our Tender Fund, which offers three year interest-free loans for organisations who need relatively small sums of money to help them tender successfully for public service contracts; or our Modernisation Fund, which offers five year interest-free loans of between £30,000 and £50,000 to organisations delivering services affected by the recession.
Or, if you require financial support to help cover short term cashflow needs, the Cashflow Fund might be the right product, offering loans of up to two years in the form of bridging loans, reserves cover or overdraft guarantees.
If you are not sure what product to apply for, our experienced investment officers will work with you to determine which product is most suitable for your organisation.
