However, it's not all bad news for firms looking to raise affordable finance and meet their contractual obligations. The CBILS and other pandemic support programmes may have closed, but they have been replaced by the Recovery Loan Scheme (RLS).
Key features of the Recovery Loan Scheme are:
Businesses can borrow up to £10m.
No personal guarantee required on arrangements under £250k.
Finance terms of between three months and six years.
Scheme includes term loans, overdrafts and invoice finance.
A business can apply for RLS finance even if it's already taken funds under the Bounce Back Loan Scheme (BBLS) or the CBILS arrangement.
How you could put the Recovery Loan Scheme to work in your business
With the CBILS end date now firmly in the past, and the economy starting to move back to something like normality, this is a good time to consider the benefits of the Recovery Loan Scheme for your business.
As the name implies, this finance is designed to help businesses like yours to build back to where they would have been, had the pandemic not hit so hard. CBILS helped many firms avoid insolvency and closure, while RLS is all about building foundations for future growth.
With RLS funding you could:
Develop a marketing strategy to increase market share.
Invest in innovation.
Train your staff, particularly those coming off furlough.
Secure your working capital position.
The Recovery Loan Scheme could present a valuable investment opportunity for your business. However, we recommend that you take professional advice before entering into any arrangement.
