The Government Growth Guarantee Scheme: Supporting Your Business Growth
The Government Growth Guarantee Scheme (GGS) is designed to support small and medium-sized businesses across the UK, this scheme can help unlock funding opportunities that might otherwise feel out of reach.
At First Oak Capital, our friendly experts are here to make the process simple and stress-free. From determining your eligibility to preparing a strong application, we’re ready to help you every step of the way.
What Is the Growth Guarantee Scheme?
The Growth Guarantee Scheme helps UK businesses secure financing that traditional lenders might decline. It’s backed by the government and reduces the lender’s risk, making approvals easier for businesses with limited credit history or financial challenges.
This scheme is a great option for SMEs that have struggled to get funding elsewhere. Whether you’re starting up, expanding, or covering short-term costs, it can provide the support you need. By bridging the gap between businesses and lenders, it gives more UK companies access to essential capital.
Here’s how it benefits your business:
- Government-Backed Support: The scheme provides a partial guarantee to lenders, encouraging them to approve more applications.
- Flexible Funding Options: Loans under the scheme can be used for various business needs, from investing in equipment to managing cashflow.
- Improved Access to Credit: Businesses with limited credit history or facing temporary challenges may still qualify.

The Government Growth Guarantee Scheme is ideal for businesses looking to:
- Invest in new equipment or technology.
- Expand their operations or premises.
- Manage cashflow during a challenging period.
- Cover short-term costs, such as VAT or Corporation Tax.
