The Chancellor announced yesterday (27 April 2020) a new loan scheme from the government to help businesses during this Coronavirus pandemic. We have outlined the new scheme below:
- New scheme is called ‘Coronavirus Bounce Back Loan’ (CBBL)
- Designed to help small and Medium businesses to borrow between £2,000 and £50,000
- Government will guarantee the loan 100%
- No interest or fees to be paid for the first 12 months
- Loan terms up to 6 years
- Government working with lenders to ensure a low interest rate
- Scheme to be delivered through a network of lenders
- You cannot apply if you are already claiming the ‘Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan’ (CBILS)
- If you have already received a CBILS up to £50,000 then you may be able to arrange to alter loan to this loan until 4 November 2020
- Scheme will launch on Monday 4th May 2020
