What is the Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan Scheme?

The Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan Scheme or 'CBILS', is a Government-backed lending initiative designed to help out small businesses that are struggling financially due to the coronavirus.

Businesses with a turnover of less than £45m can apply for loans of between £50,001 and £5m, and also access invoice finance, overdrafts and asset finance.

The first 12 months of any CBILS loan agreement are interest-free and loans of less than £250,000 are available with no personal guarantee. For loans above £250,000, a personal guarantee will be attached to 20% of your outstanding loan amount. The borrowing business will always remain responsible for 100% of the debt and be required to pay off the borrowed sum in full.

How are CBILS loans being distributed?

The Government aren't lending the money themselves. Instead, they've accredited over 80 lenders to distribute the funds to those that need it most. We've put together a list of these lenders so you can get a better idea of where you can apply for CBILS funds.

What is the British Business Bank?

The British Business Bank (BBB) is owned by the UK Government, and is designed to make the financial markets work better for small businesses. They're the organisation behind the Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan Scheme (CBILS) and the Bounce Back Loan Scheme (BBLS). When it comes to CBILS, the BBB are responsible for choosing which lenders will be able to distribute the funds.
