CBILS
WITH GROWTH LENDING
What is the Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan scheme (CBILS)?
CBILS can help SMEs that have lost revenue and had cashflow disrupted as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak. Funding is not provided by the government directly but from accredited lenders. Borrowers will be fully liable for the debt. Under the scheme, the government will pay the interest and fees of the facilities for the first 12 months. This scheme was created to provide financial support for smaller businesses during the Coronavirus pandemic. It is aimed at businesses with a turnover of less than £45 million.
