What is the CBILS?
Loans are backed by a guarantee and can be offered at commercial rates of interest – meaning less risk to lenders. This means that you have more chance of being accepted.
Things you need to bear in mind
Borrowers will be asked to provide a lot of financial information and should initiate the process as soon as possible.
Borrowers are obliged to repay all of the amount borrowed, not just the 20% that has not been guaranteed by the government. Any defaults on payment will be recovered through standard methods. The loan is not a grant and will have to be repaid.
The CBILS is a complex process and will only be considered for applicants who have a viable business. The loan is not considered to be a “prop loan” so if your business was suffering long before the onset of the Coronavirus outbreak, your application will likely be rejected.
How a CBIL differs from other loans:
- No interest to pay for the first 12 months
- Payment Holidays
- 80% is guaranteed by the government
- Low interest rates
- No arrangement fees
ARE YOU ELIGIBLE FOR A CBIL?

What if I am refused under the CBILS?
The criteria for lending has recently changed so it’s worthwhile making a new application, even if you have been refused in the past.
Our partners know which lenders are most likely to approve and then fast track your application, as they know what each lender is looking for and how to present the application.
What if I don’t have sufficient security to access the scheme?
You can now take advantage of the low rates, payment holidays, and interest-free periods provided by the scheme.
This significantly increases the businesses who are eligible for the scheme and may be worth re-applying if you have previously been refused.
What if I’m not successful applying for the CBIL?
There are other types of finance available and if your CBIL application is rejected, we can help you to find alternative funding and will not relent until we have exhausted every possibility to help your business survive.
