Subsidised and Guaranteed Loans

If you have a promising business but cannot provide the security needed for a conventional bank loan, the Government's Enterprise Finance Guarantee scheme may be what you need.

Alternatively, other supported loan schemes (loans subsidised by government or local agencies) may reduce your borrowing costs if you meet their lending criteria.

This briefing covers:

  • The Enterprise Finance Guarantee scheme.
  • Which business activities are most likely to qualify for other supported loan schemes.
  • How to apply.
  • An overview of the major schemes.
