ABOUT CBILS

The Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan Scheme (CBILS), delivered through British Business Bank accredited lenders and partners, is designed to support the continued provision of finance to UK smaller businesses (SMEs) during the Covid-19 outbreak. The scheme enables lenders to provide facilities of up to £5m to smaller businesses across the UK who are experiencing lost or deferred revenues, leading to disruptions to their cashflow.

The scheme provides Aspen Bridging with a government-backed guarantee to facilitate lending. The Government guarantee is to Aspen Bridging (‘the lender’) and the borrower remains liable for 100% of any facility that may be provided.

The scheme provides SME Borrowers with a Business Interruption Payment which covers interest and Lender levied fees for a period of 12 months. By applying for the BIP the SME agrees that the UK Government may pay amounts directly to the Lender.

For more information about the scheme, please visit the British Business Bank website. You can also find answers to frequently asked questions through the British Business Bank’s FAQ.
