LTA Quick Access Loan
The Lawn Tennis Association (LTA) has released the Quick Access Loans program aimed at providing financial support to tennis venues.
The Lawn Tennis Association (LTA) offers a Quick Access Loan Scheme to support tennis and padel venues with facility improvements, such as building covered courts or upgrading to LED lighting. These interest-free loans prioritise community access, including pay-and-play opportunities and coaching. Venues must be LTA-registered and demonstrate financial sustainability. Funding can cover up to 80% of project costs, with repayments over 3-15 years, depending on the investment. Applications are reviewed within 6 weeks, and applicants must provide security for larger loans.
Quick Access Loan (QAL) provides interest free loans from £25,001 up to £250,000.
Quick Access Loans support:
• Low cost indoor structures
• Floodlights
They will not support:
• Coaching and equipment costs
• Routine maintenance
• Clubhouse renovations
• Like for like resurfacing (unless there are exceptional circumstances e.g. flooding damage)
• Purchase of land
• Retrospective funding • Facilities exclusively for other sports.
• We will only support clubs who need LTA funds.
Repayment Terms
Repayment terms offered will be a maximum of 10 years. In some cases, if the loan can be repaid more readily, this may be reduced. The first repayment is typically 6 months after funding released.
