What is a Charity Advance?

We understand that many charities rely on legacy income to fund their charitable activities. This can include purchasing specialist equipment, running charitable projects and a whole range of related one off costs.

  • Delays in obtaining probate and settling estates have resulted in charities having to wait much longer than before to receive vital funds. Consequently, high priority spending decisions are often delayed. This can cause enormous strain on charities and the communities they support.
  • As a specialist in providing loans based on future legacy income, we can solve this problem.
  • We will assess your expected future legacy income, either on an individual or whole of book basis, and determine the size of Advance we can provide. If you decide to go ahead we can normally provide funds within a few days.

FAQ's

A Charity Advance is based solely on the value of either a specific future legacy you are expecting to receive or your whole future legacy book.
You can apply at any time, but you will need to provide evidence to support the value of the legacies you are relying on to repay the Advance.
You can use a Charity Advance for any one-off or nonregular expense that does not relate to the day to day running costs of the charity.
This is managed very carefully during our underwriting process and through cautious LTVs to ensure it does not happen. We will only lend an amount we are confident you can comfortably repay. However, should there be one, you would be responsible for funding any shortfall.
The minimum loan amount is £50,000. The maximum loan amount depends on the size of the legacy income on which we are basing our underwriting. We will work with you to agree what percentage of that income we can lend against. On a specific legacy, it would typically be around 40%. On a whole of book basis it would typically be around 30%.
The exact cost may vary depending on the size of loan and the value of your future legacy income. However, typical costs are a 2% – 3% arrangement fee (added to the loan) and an interest rate of 1% – 1.5% per month.
That depends on the loan structure we agree. Typically the loan would be repaid in monthly repayments following an initial payment holiday, or in one go when funds are available. The loan term is typically 2 years.
