Social Enterprise Investment Fund

Big Issue Invest (BII), a specialist provider of finance for social enterprises has raised £3 million for its pioneering Social Enterprise Investment Fund and is looking to invest in more successful social enterprises looking to scale-up their social impact. 

BII can provide a range of financing options, from loans to equity from £50,000 to £500,000 and with terms of up to ten years. Loans may be unsecured and repayments may be tied to future income, profits or surpluses. 

Typically, organisations most suitable for investment will already have a trading history and must be able to demonstrate the capacity to deliver while generating sustainable trading income and long-term profitability and social impact. 

BII is keen to hear from social enterprises and the trading arms of registered charities needing investment.
