Rishi Sunak has now announced a new scheme aimed at helping small and scaling businesses through the C-19 crisis. The microloan scheme, which will be in place from next Monday (4 May) will be 100% government-backed (rather than 80%), and is intended to bolster the existing range of measures supporting these businesses through the pandemic. It comes amid criticism of the existing Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan Scheme (CBILS).
The headline points from the Chancellor's announcement are:
The scheme will hopefully ensure that small businesses, which (as the Chancellor noted) make up the "backbone of our economy", will have access to the vital funds they need in order to weather this storm.
Our team has extensive experience supporting early-stage and fast-growth scaling business on matters relating to finances and more generally. If you have any queries or would like to speak to one of our experts please feel free to get in touch.
