SWIG Finance

SWIG Finance is a non-profit Community Development Finance Institution (CDFI) that supports smaller, growing South West businesses that can’t secure sufficient funding from their bank.

Rather than compete with the banks, we lend to businesses that fall outside the radar of mainstream lenders due to finance criteria or automated credit scoring methods. As our decisions are made by people, not computers, we can lend by looking at the bigger picture, and our locally based business managers employ a relationship-focused approach which makes us well-placed to understand our customers’ finance and wider business needs.

By assessing the current position and future opportunities, we support projection-led businesses that demonstrate a stronger forecasted performance compared to previous years.

Our local business managers provide support and guidance throughout the application process, and for the duration of the loan, to give our customers the best chance for success.
