Growth Lending can now offer the government’s Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan Scheme (CBILS), which was established to provide capital to viable British companies that have been adversely affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. The scheme closes for applications on 31 March 2021.
Three CBILS products are available via the Growth Lending group: revolving credit facilities, invoice discounting and term loans. The group is made up of three lenders – BOOST&Co, GapCap and KX Media Capital, which are all able to tailor a facility to your needs.
We can provide funding from £100,000 to £5m to UK SMEs. The government guarantees 80% of each loan and covers interest and fees for the first 12 months.
We’ve put together a six-step guide to the process for our existing and new customers, all of whom are eligible for CBILS.
