Co-operative and Community Finance
Co-operative & Community Finance is the Lender for Social Purpose, and have been lending to ethical businesses since 1973. As long time partners of the Plunkett Foundation, they have acted as lending partner to the current More than a Pub Programme and the previous Village CORE scheme. They provide loan finance to a range of organisations and community businesses that are democratically owned controlled by their members. Over the years they have provided hundreds of loans to community businesses and co-operatives of all shapes and sizes, and have become a specialist lender to Community Shops, Pubs, Hubs and Community Food and Farming in particular.
CCF offer fair, supportive finance tailored to meet the needs of individual enterprises. Their rates are competitive and we never ask for personal guarantees, and their flexible finance offer ranges from £10,000 to £150,000 for a term typically between 2 – 20 years. They provide both secured and unsecured finance for a range of purposes, be that purchasing a property, refurbishment, buying equipment, refinancing or working capital. They also work with partners to offer community share investments and packages of mixed grant and loan investment are sometimes available.
