CBILS

CBILS

The Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan (CBILS) Scheme was a government initiative designed to support small businesses affected by the coronavirus outbreak. The government provide a guarantee of 80% to the lender and to be eligible your annual turnover must be between £2.5m and £45m.

As an accredited lending partner with the British Business Bank we worked to support businesses across the UK with a CBILS facility alongside an invoice finance facility. 

The Scheme is now closed to new applications
