Flexible Enterprise Lending Scheme

Overview

A fund delivered by Big Issue Invest offering two products with flexible features. A "Seasonal Loan" where investees can structure their repayments around the times of the year when income is strongest. And"Development Loans" where terms are variable and will be agreed based on the specific circumstances of the investee.

It uses funding from Flexible Finance for the Recovery to enable the provision of long-term, flexible investment products, particularly for organisations where financial returns are uncertain or lower than conventional investment thresholds.
