Loans and Business Support

Fredericks Foundation has operations across much of the South of England including Hampshire, Isle of Wight, Kent, Sussex, Surrey, Buckinghamshire, Berkshire, Oxfordshire, Gloucestershire, Wiltshire and the West Country. Check that you live in an area that we cover.

Please note we do not have funding for any of the London Boroughs at the moment even if your postal address is Surrey or Kent if your council is registered as a London Borough we are unable to fund you.  Please

Fredericks Foundation will consider you for a loan and business support if you can demonstrate that you have made a genuine application for funds to your bank or a mainstream lender – and that you have been turned down.

Your business can be at any stage: you may require money to start-up; capital to expand your business; or funds to bridge a gap. Whether you are a sole trader, in a partnership or have a limited company you may be eligible for a loan.

For start-up businesses we offer up to a maximum of £10,000, though our average loan is less than £5,000. For established businesses with a financial track record the maximum loan is £20,000.

If your plan involves a training course, a franchise operation or debt collection, please telephone before completing your application.

IMPORTANT – We attach great value to our relationships with our clients. Many come to us having been through difficult times in their careers and their personal lives. We need you to be completely honest with us about your background. If you have had a County Court Judgement for instance, that alone will not stop us considering your application. However, if we later find out that you have not disclosed having a CCJ then that will count against you.  Your Client Manager will always treat you with integrity and sensitivity.

Before applying please read all of the notes in the important information section.
