Our Loan Packages

Learn about our different loan packages. We offer fixed repayments for the term of our loans with no hidden fees or charges.

We do not require Asset security for our loans. However, if you are applying for a business loan through a Limited Company (LTD Company) / Designated Activity Company (DAC), we will request that you (Directors / Shareholders / Key Business Influencers) sign an Indemnity which is your commitment to take responsibility for repaying the loan if the business cannot do so. Microfinance Ireland is required to report all such Indemnifiers to the Central Credit Register (CCR).

MFI must be provided with a formal decline letter/email from an Asset Finance Provider when the loan proposition is to fund the purchase of (i) any type of vehicle (new or second hand) and (ii) any commercial machine/machinery (new or second hand) which is suitable for asset finance type funding.
