Social Investment Scotland - Welcome
Social Investment Scotland (SIS) is a unique partnership between Scotland's four biggest banks and the voluntary and public sectors. SIS provides loan finance and business support to social economy organisations who are unable to raise any or all of the loan finance they need from normal commercial sources.
Organisations may apply to SIS for a loan provided their activities have a strong social purpose which benefits disadvantaged or vulnerable groups. Potential SIS borrowers may or may not have charitable status and, while the term 'not for profit' is widely understood, we prefer to think of our customers as 'more than profit' organisations.
Our Vision
Social Investment Scotland's mission is to make a positive and measurable contribution to the development of the social economy in Scotland by stimulating enterprise and wealth creation in under-invested communities.
Our Values
Social Investment Scotland aims to offer well structured, flexible and affordable financial solutions and to be innovative and proactive in our approach to meeting the needs of social economy organisations. In our dealings with clients, partner organisations and stakeholders, we will conduct ourselves in a manner that demonstrates the highest standards of integrity, courtesy and professionalism.
