The Enterprise Finance Guarantee is a guarantee facility for small businesses intended primarily to improve the availability of working capital through term loans and the consolidation of overdrafts. It will also support lending for business growth and development in cases where a sound proposition may otherwise be declined due to a lack of security. The guarantee will cover all types of lending including new term loans (with terms of between one and ten years), existing lending where lenders might not otherwise refinance the debt or conversion of part or all of an existing utilised overdraft into a term loan in order to release capacity in the overdraft to meet working capital requirements (conditional on the lender being prepared to continue to provide an overdraft and the serviceability of both the term loan and the overdraft).
