What happens after I apply?

  • You will receive a confirmation of receipt by email.
  • We will assess your application within 8 weeks (this is the maximum period).
  • In most cases, you will receive a response by email within a few working days.
  • If your application is incomplete, the process will take longer.
  • If your application is approved, you will receive an allocation decision from the Municipal Executive (Mayor and Aldermen).
  • You then apply for the loan directly with SVn, following the instructions in the allocation decision.
  • If the assessment is positive, you will be granted a Starter Loan and SVn will send you a loan offer.
