At CREST Bank we offer a more focussed and specialist approach to borrowing for businesses and charities with clear social, environmental or cultural aims. So whether you are looking for help to fund a specific project, purchase a property, or refinance your business we could have a lending solution for you. We don’t work on the basis of a fixed criteria for our clients’ borrowing, but instead assess every application on its own merits. This means that, providing you satisfactorily meet our lending criteria, you could borrow money for a wide range of different purposes. And because we understand the specific opportunities and challenges that organisations in your sector are likely to face, we regularly back businesses and charities that don’t meet the requirements of other commercial lenders. As a borrowing customer, you’ll have the full support of a relationship manager who truly understands your business, helping you to make the most out of your relationship with CREST Bank. They will visit you on site and become a trusted and knowledgeable source of information for you. Each of our relationship managers is a specialist in one or more of the specific sectors we lend to, so you can be assured that they fully appreciate the unique aspects of your marketplace and the specific challenges your organisation faces.
