Building an Impact Economy

Our Approach

To deliver our mission for an Impact Economy, our strategy rests on five leading approaches.

• Communities

  We support charities and social enterprises, including voluntary organisations, with loan funding. Interest rates are calculated on a case-by-case basis by one of our investment managers, who work closely with each organisation to determine the most affordable option.

• Business Support

  Thanks to our access to experienced social enterprise leaders, our excellent training partners and our own in-house expertise, we’re able to run projects, programmes and other support that helps communities and social enterprises grow in size, confidence and resilience.

• Access to Finance

  We act as a fund manager, mobilising and deploying funds to other responsible finance providers who, in turn, offer finance to enterprises and individuals who are unable to secure funding from mainstream financial lenders.

• Investment

  SIS Ventures is an impact investor and wholly-owned subsidiary of SIS. SIS Ventures makes equity investments in impact-led businesses to help address society’s greatest challenges and needs.

• Innovation

  We're always looking for ways to do things differently and better. We work alongside experts, peers and like minded organisations to create new solutions, funds and programmes.
