East of Scotland Investment Fund

If your business has a commercially viable proposals but has found it difficult raising all of funding you need from the usual sources, you may be able to get a loan from the East of Scotland Investment Fund. To be eligible for a loan, you will need to be able to demonstrate a funding gap as we will not be the sole funder of projects. We welcome applications from businesses operating as a limited company or limited liability partnership.

Loans of up to £50,000 are available to all businesses. The loan has to be match funded from the private sector. Interest rates are fixed, currently at 6%, for the duration of the loan with the maximum repayment period being five years. Consideration will be given for 'capital repayment' holidays on a case by case basis.
