Let's take loan sharks out of the equation!

We lend to self-employed members where they can can demonstrate that the repayments are affordable, something that the sharks never do!

🚨 12% of borrowers we supported in early 2025 were self-employed.
Many were small business owners pushed toward illegal lenders when costs got out of control.
We can help small business owners who have been targeted by illegal lenders in certain circumstances.

If you're a sole trader, part of a small partnership, or run an unincorporated association — and borrowed under £25,000 for business purposes — Stop Loan Sharks may be able to help.

We’re backing Business Finance Week (30 Sept – 9 Oct) with the British Business Bank to spotlight safer finance options for small businesses.

💬 Need support? Call our 24/7 helpline on 0300 555 2222 or visit stoploansharks.co.uk for free, confidential advice.

Thank you to all our members who came along to our AGM last week. Please don't forget we would like your ideas on how to celebrate our 25th birthday in November.

The AGM reviewed our 2023/24 financial year which unlike the tax year runs from October to September. The meeting voted to pay a dividend of 1.8% on members average share balance in 23/24 and to pay a 1.5% rebate on loan interest paid on the year. Payment will be made after 6th April. Look out for our next newsletter for more details on this and the other items discussed
