Short-term Credit
for Self-employed
SubMe Limited, a responsible credit
facility provider has announced the
launch of its brand new product,
‘Self-Employed Loans (SEL)’.
»»The new product is
available exclusively to the selfemployed market and has been
designed to provide easy access
to short-term credit for selfemployed individuals.
Greg Kitchen, Chief Executive
said: “A lot of self-employed
people may find themselves in a
situation where they need help
with their finances to deal with
unexpected expenses, but find
they are ignored by traditional
lenders.”
“As a responsible, compliant
and ethical lender (authorised

and regulated by the Financial
Conduct Authority), we provide
credit in accordance with strict
underwriting criteria and based
upon the Individual’s current year
to date earnings and affordability.
As a result, we invested in product
research, technical infrastructure
and dedicated Underwriting,
Operations, Debt recovery, Sales
and customer service departments
to ensure the successful launch
and ongoing delivery of SEL.”
‘’We work with a lot of selfemployed individuals within
the construction Industry and

working with an entity such as
SubMe will allow us to enhance
our offering to contractors and
clients. In case of an emergency or
an unexpected bill, operatives can
avoid falling into the trap of pay
day loans.”
Greg added: “We feel that the
new (SEL) credit facility, which
we launched 1st July, will become
a national success within the self
– employed CIS market. I worked

in the construction trade for over
20 years so know how hard it was
to get credit being self-employed.
We always found it very difficult
to get credit, solely because of
the risk of not being in work, or
having three years of consistent
accounts, that were favourable to
main stream lenders.”
