SWIG Finance is the regions’ leading enterprise lending Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI).
Being a CDFI means we are passionate about bringing social and economic benefits to people, places and the business community by delivering responsible and affordable lending to SMEs and Entrepreneurs.
We are committed to the following principles:
- CDFIs lend to businesses turned down or not served by mainstream providers, including banks.
- CDFIs protect jobs and strengthen communities.
- CDFIs are tried, tested and trusted.
- We embrace the Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan Scheme and are working in conjunction with the government and the British Business Bank to support small businesses.
- CDFIs are able to lend to underserved businesses because they are deeply rooted in their local communities and can take a different view to mainstream lenders.
- We support our customers by acting with forbearance and flexibility so they can get back to business.
