Michael Lloyd Industry News, News, Top 3 British Business Bank, Simply

The British Business Bank has approved another lender, Simply, to deliver funds under the coronavirus business interruption loan scheme (CBILS).

Under the government-backed scheme, Simply will provide finance to smaller businesses with a turnover up to £45m that have seen their cashflow disrupted because of lost or deferred revenues during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Simply will prepare for lending under the scheme and will soon announce the dates when it will be ready to receive applications.

The British Business Bank said it continues to approve a wide range of lender types to the emergency loan schemes.
