  2. Successful Societies Co-operating to Create Co-operative Success

  3. Our 6th Principle: Co-operation amongst Co-operatives in practice

  4. The fund: • established in 2002 with donations from successful retail societies • initial funding of £1m • designed to support high risk co-operatives through loan finance • ‘high risk’ interpreted as new start and those having difficulty accessing traditional sources of finance • loans can be for any business purpose

  5. The fund is: • managed by Co-operative & Community Finance • structured as a company limited by guarantee • overseen by a board of directors nominated by the donating societies • co-operating with others, e.g. The Co-operative Enterprise Hub

  6. Success is: • using £1.25m of donations to provide £2m of loan finance – through ‘loan recycling’

  7. Success is: • an average default rate of 3.5% (just one default in 2009) • on average up to 50% of UK start-up companies fail in the first two years* • ‘high risk’ funds anticipate 10%+ defaults • some funds are known to have up to 40% default • only one loan ‘cancelled’ * According to the Times 100

  8. Diversity of co-operative clients: Total lent = £2.12m to 77 Co-ops

  14. On behalf of all the beneficiaries Thank you to Who continue to support the fund

  15. But… Success brings its own problems

  16. we have £1.06m lent to co-operatives • we have £230k ‘in the bank’ available to lend • we have approved loans of £65k • we receive circa £210k loan repayments per year • our current ‘run rate demand’ is approx £450k per year (and growing) All figures unaudited and as at the end of 2009

  17. You can do the sums yourselves: • we have insufficient funds to support demand • we will have to stop making new loans towards the end of 2010

  18. Please • become part of the success by making a donation to the fund • invite us to talk to your Society and Board You can call us on: 023 8023 1123 or 0117 916 6752
