The British Business Bank announced today that it has approved six new lenders for accreditation under the Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan Scheme (CBILS), three new lenders under the Coronavirus Large Business Interruption Loan Scheme (CLBILS) and two new lenders for accreditation to the Bounce Back Loan Scheme (BBLS).

The new CBILS lenders include 365 Business Finance, FOLK2FOLK, Handelsbanken, LendingCrowd, Maxxia, and Nucleus Commercial Finance. The new lenders will be responsible for offering financial support to the COVID-19 affected small businesses across the UK. The new CLBILS lenders, Close Brothers, ThinCats and HSBC Bank plc, will provide financial support to midsized and larger UK businesses with a group turnover of more than £45 million. The new BBLS lenders include Coutts and Arbuthnot Latham.

Each lender will be putting in place the operations required to start lending under the scheme and will confirm the dates from which they will be ready to start receiving applications from smaller businesses across the UK. The Bank has stated that it will continue to review applications from lenders including PRA-regulated banks, to platform lenders, debt funds, invoice finance lenders, asset finance lenders and responsible finance lenders.

Keith Morgan, CEO, British Business Bank, said, “Our accredited lenders continue to see high levels of demand for Covid-19 business loan schemes. Accrediting these additional finance providers means further support for smaller business customers and continues the British Business Bank’s long-term objective to offer more diverse sources of finance to smaller businesses.”
