South West Investment Group
about the South West Investment Group

SWIG is a not-for-profit company established in 1989 with offices in Truro and Exeter. We are an approved Enterprise Agency and a charter member of Community Development Finance Association.

Our aim is to help businesses that help the local economy, where we will complement rather than compete with the banks. As our emphasis is on potential rather than collateral or track record, we can often fund projects where bank support is limited.

SWIG is the largest provider of complementary loan finance to small and medium sized businesses in the South West, managing a portfolio of funds worth £10 million.

Our funds are delivered in collaboration with Business Link and the wider business advisory network, including the Enterprise Agency network, colleges, banks, accountants and other private sector advisors. Applications are only accepted via recognised intermediaries.
