The new Bounce Back Loan Scheme (BBLS), announced last week by the Chancellor, Rishi Sunak, to help small and medium-sized businesses affected by the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19), has gone live.
Businesses can now borrow between £2,000 and £50,000. Interest will be paid by the government for the first 12 months. The government also guarantees 100% of the loan.
Loan terms will be up to 6 years. No repayments will be due during the first 12 months. A low rate of interest of 2.5% has been set for the remaining period of the loan.
The scheme will be delivered through a network of accredited lenders.
