3. What are your standard investment terms?
As an impact-first investor we don’t have standard terms - we aim to find the right investment mechanism for each investment. Overall, we are aiming to get our money back in order to recycle it, and this requires charging an interest, rate or equivalent, to cover losses.
We understand that for social investment to be effective and accessible it often needs to be more affordable, flexible and patient than mainstream finance.
4. Is social investment appropriate for my organisation
Good Finance offers free tools and resources to help you understand the different types of social investment available, whether it's right for your organisation, and a directory of social investors you can search.
