HOW IT WORKS
BBLS is available through a range of British Business Bank accredited lenders and partners, listed on the British Business Bank website. (Read more on how to apply with them here)
A lender can provide a six-year term loan from £2,000 up to 25% of a business’ turnover. The maximum loan amount is £50,000.
The scheme gives the lender a full (100%) government-backed guarantee against the outstanding balance of the facility (both capital and interest).
The borrower always remains fully liable for the debt.
