Stabilise and grow with a loan

The financial resilience of charities and social enterprises has been greatly tested through the pandemic; many have had to adapt to supporting beneficiaries’ changing needs, while facing a shortfall in income to meet growing demand for their services.

For social purpose organisations looking to stabilise or grow, borrowing money is a potential option that’s often overlooked. So we organised a webinar to help trustees and managers understand the ways that borrowing could help to finance their future goals and the support available through CAF.

Watch this webinar to:

Compare the different choices of repayable finance (borrowing) available.
Learn when you should consider loan finance or social investment.
Find out about the financial support available from CAF Venturesome and CAF Bank.
Hear how borrowing helped two charities to stabilise their financial position and achieve more
