Co-operative & Community Finance
the lender for social purpose
Co-operative & Community Finance has been providing loan finance for co-operatives, employee owned businesses and social enterprises for 30 years.
We raise money primarily by public share issue, and we lend it for social purpose and collective benefit. We also manage loan funds for several other organisations providing co-operative and community finance. We are authorised and regulated by the Financial Services Authority (FSA) in the conduct of investment business.
