Social Enterprise Investment Fund

The Social Enterprise Investment Fund (SEIF), provides loans and grants to social enterprises which improve the quality of health and social care for local communities, has now opened. The Fund is managed by Futurebuilders in partnership with Partnerships UK, on behalf of the Department for Health. There is more than £70 million still available for start-up and existing social enterprises over the next three years.

Social enterprises can apply for a range of financial help including loans, grants and equity-like investment products, along with tailored business support services.
The Social Enterprise Investment Fund provides investment to help new social enterprises start up and existing social enterprises grow and improve their services. We work to support social enterprises in the delivery of innovative health and social care services.
