Social Investment Business

The Social Investment Business is one of the UK’s leading social investors and has invested over £380 million in charities and social enterprises in the form of loans, grants and business support since 2002. We are made up of our charity, the Social Investment Business Foundation, our social enterprise, the Social Investment Business Ltd., and our partner's, Social and Sustainable Capital.

We provide simple finance to help them grow and transform the communities in which they work. We pioneer new finance solutions to increase the funds available for social investment.

We invest in viable, non-bankable projects: facilitating their move into more enterprising ventures; strengthening them; investing in excellence; and bringing to scale the most innovative ideas.

We bring finance, knowledge and expertise to help civil society organisations thrive – improving their infrastructure, increasing their capacity, helping them bid for, and win, public service contracts.

We are an engaged investor and believe in investing more than just money in our investees because their success is our success.
