Bounce Back Loan Support

Updated:

Bounce Back Loan advice for UK businesses

Company directors and sole traders should seek advice if they are having any concerns over Bounce Back Loan repayments. The COVID-19 support scheme was launched by the government to help businesses through the pandemic and beyond but for many, bouncing back has been exceptionally difficult.

While Bounce Back Loans were a lifeline to many companies at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, they are now being increasingly seen as a source of financial frustration as repayments add yet another monthly outgoing to already stretched cash flows.

  • Using Bounce Back Loan to pay tax bills – Company directors were given the freedom to use the loan in whatever way would help their company survive. For some this was paying rent and overheads, for others it was keeping up to date with their tax obligations. There are rules surrounding misuse of Bounce Back Loan funds and it is important you know what you can and cannot spend this money on.

Due to the scale of potential losses, the government - who provided security for each and every Bounce Back Loan - is facing huge pressure from taxpayers to ensure as much money is recovered as possible. As a result, banks are being asked to take a hard line with those who attempt to strike off the company with an outstanding Bounce Back Loan, and legislation is being rushed through to trigger investigations into those companies that do successfully manage to have their business struck off while leaving an unpaid balance on their Bounce Back Loan.
