Aimed at companies that have been trading for 12+ months, need finance for growth beyond Bounce Back Loans, but are likely to get turned down by their bank
In March 2020 in response to the coronavirus pandemic, Chancellor of the Exchequer, Rishi Sunak, announced the Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan Scheme (CBILS) through the British business Bank (BBB) The aim of CBILS is to support businesses in urgent need of bank funding by providing lenders with a guarantee of 80% of loan value to support lending to SME’s with a turnover of up to £45 million.
A criticism of CBILS has been that funding has been too slow to reach companies that have immediate cash flow pressures.
