Launched on Monday, the Bounce Back Loan scheme is now available to small businesses across the UK and is the latest step in a package of world-leading support measures launched by Chancellor Rishi Sunak.
Thousands of small firms and sole traders – including high street staples like hairdressers, coffee shops and florists – will be eligible for 100% government-backed Bounce Back Loans to help them make it through the Coronavirus outbreak.
Small business owners can apply to accredited lenders by filling out a simple online form, with only seven questions.
The government has also agreed with lenders that an affordable flat rate of 2.5% interest will be charged on these loans. And any business that has already taken out a Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan of £50,000 or less can apply to have these switched over to this generous new scheme.
