The Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan Scheme

Our accreditation

The Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan (CBILS) Scheme was a government initiative designed to support small businesses affected by the coronavirus outbreak. As an accredited lending partner with the British Business Bank we worked to support businesses across the UK with Loan and Asset Finance solutions to aid recovery and future growth. The scheme is now closed to new applications.
