Government Support Schemes: Covid Interruption Loan Scheme & Bounce Back Loans

Government support schemes Coronavirus interruption loan scheme (CIBLs) and Bounce Back Loans (BBL)

Posted on 18th March 2021 by David Rudd

Since the Covid 19 outbreak Government funding and support has been hugely helpful to many business owners.

Given the falling case numbers and success of the vaccination programme, we are all hopeful of seeing an end to the National lockdowns. All positive news!

To flip this, the Government have now taken a look at reducing funding support, which includes CIBLs and BBLs.

The following gives some detail of the two funding options:

CBILS BBLS

Who? Limited Companies and Limited Liability Partnerships Limited Companies, Limited Liability Partnerships and Sole Traders

What? Overdrafts of £50,001 to £150,000

Loans of £50,001 to £250,000 Loans up to £50,000

Application deadline 31st March 2021 31st March 2021

Clearly the key piece of information here is the Application deadline of 31 March 2021.

If you haven’t taken on any funding during the pandemic, it is worth plotting out your business cashflow for the next 3, 6, 9, 12, 18 and 24 months. This will give you an indicator of whether funding will be needed.

NB VAT deferred from 2020 will need to repaid soon, so building this into your numbers is critical.

A truly fantastic accountants. Unlike any other accountants we have had in the past. They are 100 percent on the ball, helpful with fantastic advice. Not just sound accountancy advice but advising the business as a whole in various areas. Strategic quarterly reviews to really delve into the business to make sure profit margins are where they should be, and if they aren’t, they’ll look into improvements that can be made. Nothing is too much and the phone lines are always open for advice. Unlike most accountants their focus isn’t just on completing your annual accounts and not seeing you again for another year. I cannot praise the team enough for all the hard work they put in! They really have shifted our focus onto the aspects of the business that we were perhaps neglecting!
