Bounce Back Loan Scheme
COVID-19 - business continuity - UK.
(BBLS or BBL).
The Bounce Back Loan Scheme (BBLS) was designed to enable smaller businesses to access finance more quickly during the coronavirus outbreak.
The BBLS supported small and medium-sized businesses to borrow between £2,000 and a maximum of 25% of their annual turnover.
The maximum loan was £50,000.
The UK government guaranteed 100% of the loan.
There were no fees or interest to pay for the first 12 months.
After 12 months the interest rate was 2.5% a year.
Businesses could apply for a loan in the period up to 31 March 2021 if they satisfied three conditions:
(1) Based in the UK;
(2) Established before 1 March 2020; and
(3) Adversely impacted by the coronavirus.
For new borrowings from April 2021 onward, the BBLS was superseded by the Recovery Loan Scheme (RLS).
