UPDATE: 3 APRIL

The Chancellor has today made additional announcements to support firms affected by the coronavirus crisis by bolstering business interruption loans for small businesses and announcing a new scheme for larger companies. 

  • The current loan scheme will be extended so more small businesses can benefit
  • Lenders will be banned from requesting personal guarantees on loans under £250,000
  • A new scheme is announced to bolster support for larger firms not currently eligible for loans
