Your challenges
Raising affordable bank finance remains a challenge but the current climate does present opportunities for many charitable businesses. You need lawyers that understand the unique position of charities to enable you to obtain the finance that is still available for the right proposition.
Achieving your ambitions
Whether you are a charity or a bank, we can help. We advise both borrowers and lenders in this sector and understand how to balance the need for a charity to obtain well-priced, flexible finance on reasonable terms with the bank’s need to control its risk.
Our sector experience will be used for your benefit. We have advised universities, further education colleges, private schools, NHS foundation trusts and care homes as well as lenders to these institutions on all aspects of their funding and security arrangements.
