Small business loan – how a credit union can kickstart your project

Have you got a project of passion? Are you wanting to build something for yourself? Well here at South Manchester Credit Union we can support you with a small buisness loan.

We all have different goals in life, there is no one-size-fits-all policy. To venture out and set up your own business is one of the most challenge things you can do. However, you do not have to do it alone. This is because here at South Manchester Credit Union we work to support our members through the financial hurdles they face in their lives. 

Boost your project with a small business loan

As a new or existing member, you can apply from £1000 – £15,000. From £1000 – £3000 loans are charged at 26.8% APR while loans from £3000 – £15,000 are charged at 14% APR. Therefore, it all depends on what your needs are as we are a flexible and responsible lender. The repayments are made affordable for you. We also see you as more than a credit score – during the assessment process descisions will be made depending on your personal circumstances. 

We will ask you to provide your business plan during the application process. It is important that you have planned and prepared for your project. 

Applying is simple; you can use our online form or download our secure mobile messaging app. Our messaging app allows you to easily communicate with our team, manage your account and ask any questions you may have.
