What is the Growth Guarantee Scheme for DIY and Home Improvement Businesses?
Government-Backed Loan Guarantees
The Growth Guarantee Scheme provides a 70% government-backed guarantee on loans for DIY and home improvement businesses. This reduces the risk for lenders, making it easier for these businesses to secure funding even if they lack traditional collateral or have limited credit history.
Supportive Eligibility and Reduced Risk
Eligible businesses can borrow up to £2 million with flexible terms, including repayment periods of up to 6 years and competitive rates. The funds can be used for various growth activities, such as buying equipment, expanding operations, or developing new products and services.
Supportive Eligibility and Reduced Risk
The scheme is open to UK-based businesses with an annual turnover up to £45 million. Businesses do not have to offer their main home as security, and access is available even if they have used previous government loan schemes, making it safer and more accessible for DIY and home improvement entrepreneurs.
