All applicants must demonstrate to the Lender that the Foot and Mouth epidemic has adversely affected their business to a significant degree. All other terms, conditions and restrictions on business activities remain the same. The SBS Small Firms Loan Guarantee Scheme guarantees loans from the banks and other financial institutions for small firms that have viable business proposals but who have tried and failed to get a conventional loan because of a lack of security. The commercial aspects of the loan are matters between the borrower and the lender. Many business activities are eligible but there are a number of exclusions.
Loans are available for most business purposes although there are some restrictions.
If you would like to make an application please do this direct to one of the lenders who are involved with the scheme.
