What does the fund offer social purpose organisations?
The Growth Impact Fund was designed to do things differently. It supports social purpose organisations by offering both financial and practical business assistance. It offers investment between £50k- £1.5 million in a flexible way which can take the form of:
- Equity
Investment in your business in exchange for a share of ownership in the company. This could be right for you if you're looking for exponential growth and a long-term partner. Equity Range: Between £50k and £500k. - Revenue share
Investment in your business and get repaid based on a percentage of your revenue that gets paid back to us. It also offers flexible financing for those with CLG structures and where debt isn't suitable or organisations that may struggle to seek a traditional ‘exit’. Revenue Share Range: Between £50k and £750k. - Patient debt
Long-term loan with the expectation of repayment with interest. Investment in your business and get repaid based on a fixed repayment. Debt Range: £500k up; targeting £750k.
Organisations are offered different funding types so they can find what is suitable for their business, which might not be traditional debt. If you are looking for something specific, for example a Sharia compliant investment, then an Investment Manager can help guide you through the options.
