Who can apply?

• UK-based businesses that are existing Clydesdale Bank customers with an annual group (if applicable) turnover of up to £45 million.
• If your business is currently using or applying for the Bounce Back Loan Scheme (BBLS), the Coronavirus Large Business Interruption Loan Scheme (CLBILS) or the Bank of England's COVID Corporate Financing Facility (CCFF), you will not be able to apply for a CBIL Scheme facility unless the proposed CBIL Scheme facility will refinance the whole of the BBLS, CLBILS or CCFF facility.
• If your business has a group (if applicable) turnover between £45 million and £250 million, you may be eligible for support through the Coronavirus Larger Business Interruption Loan Scheme. Existing customers can speak to their relationship manager for more details.
• There are restrictions to eligibility. A comprehensive overview of the eligibility criteria can be found on the British Business Bank website.

How does it work?

• Businesses can borrow from £50,001 to £5 million on a term loan
• You will not be asked to provide a new Personal Guarantee for a CBIL Scheme facility
• We will not charge you any interest payments for the first 12 months and the government will reimburse us
• You will not be asked to make any capital repayments for at least 6 months
• Thereafter, depending on the loan you choose, you will have the option of equal monthly capital repayments, or a final lump sum payment at maturity. Both options will include interest following the initial 12 month period
• A relationship manager will be on hand to support you with your application
• Part of the loan value is guaranteed by the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy for which the bank will pay a fee. The guarantee is provided to the Bank and the borrower remains responsible for repaying 100% of the loan.
• All loans are subject to an eligibility and viability assessment
