Whats Does CBILS Stand For?
The acronym “CBILS” is an abbreviation of the phrase “Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan Scheme”. This is a loan scheme introduced by the UK government in April 2020 to support businesses through the coronavirus pandemic.
The premise of the scheme was that the UK government would provide a guarantee to banks and other approved lenders, encouraging loans to SME’s. The government would also service the first year’s interest and also any arrangement fees.
A large number of banks and specialist business lenders have signed up. You can apply direct with your bank or through a wide number of other accredited scheme members.
