About Us

Our sole focus is on helping grow the size of the social business marketplace in Scotland.

Through loan finance we invest in social businesses that have the capability to make sustainable social impacts.

Loan finance via Social Investment Scotland is available from £10,000 to £1m and is aimed at community enterprises and social businesses that might find access to finance from mainstream providers difficult. This might be due to the affordability of the finance, the structure required, security requirements or simply getting the right level of help and advice to turn your plans into reality.

We also help manage funds on behalf of third parties with any profits being re-invested into social business development in Scotland. We currently manage the largest social enterprise fund in Scotland on behalf of the Scottish Government. The Scottish Investment Fund makes strategic investments in social businesses that can use the funding to upscale and transform the size of their business.

The team at Social Investment Scotland are real people. We do not have call centres. You can find out who we are together with contact details through the link to Our Team. You can speak to us directly or if our prefer, e-mail us and we will get back to you.

To help you understand more about our business the website also includes information on our mission statement, our partners and our funds. We've also provided a few examples of some of our borrowers, as these are good examples of what difference we can make.
