The Student Loans Company published its Annual Business Plan 2026-27 on 3 September 2026. In an introduction, CEO Chris Larmer said the plan sets out how the organisation intends to carry out its core student finance role while progressing the policy reforms prioritised by its Government shareholders and continuing its transformation into what it describes as a simpler, more modern and digital organisation.

Larmer said that in the previous year SLC safely delivered the academic cycle, making payments of around £12bn to over 2m students and around £12bn to universities and colleges. He cited the best ever application cycle, improvements for disabled students and year-on-year repayment improvements, and said the Lifelong Learning Entitlement was a huge step closer, alongside fraud prevention results and financial management recognised by the Department for Education.

The plan's stated aims for 2026-27 include continuing administration of student finance, co-designing and implementing government policy changes, and transforming the organisation through Programme Enable. Larmer thanked outgoing Chair Sir Peter Lauener and welcomed new Chair Gary Page, a former SLC Board member.
