Purple Shoots Business Lending (“Purple Shoots”) is a not-for-profit micro finance organisation and a registered charity.

We operate in Gloucestershire.

We offer help two ways:

  • Through finance. We provide small business loans at fair rates. It’s easy to apply, with some simple forms to fill in and a  meeting. We can offer help with the form filling. We have a track record of helping people who needed a hand up, not just more hand outs. and we have made a real difference to many people’s lives.
  • By creating self-reliant groups (SRGs) – We provide a place for you to get together with other local people and learn new skills. Share your ideas and save and make money with other people. Take back control over your life and make better opportunities for yourself, your family and your community.
