Understanding your Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan
If you’ve received lending under the Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan scheme (CBILS), find out more about your commitments and what you can do to prepare for when your repayments begin.
About Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan
- The Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan scheme (CBILS) is a government initiative to support small and medium-sized businesses affected by the coronavirus outbreak
- The government provides lenders like NatWest, with a guarantee for 80% of qualifying loans
- You must repay this loan in full including interest
- The loan term is up to 6 years
- For the full details of your specific loan and commitments, refer to the loan agreement you signed before receiving your loan
Any property or asset used as a security may be repossessed or forfeited if you do not keep up repayments on any debt secured on it.
Your CBILS loan term
The maximum term of your CBILS loan is 6 years
You can make repayments at any time with no early repayment fee
We’re working with the British Business Bank to confirm circumstances in which a borrower may be able to extend their loan term to greater than 6 years during the life of the loan. There is no need to contact us at this time.
CBILS loan interest rate
- Interest on your CBILS loan will be a Fixed or Variable interest rate
- The interest rate applied to your CBILS loan will be detailed in your loan agreement or advice letter if any changes have been applied
- Interest during the first 12 months will be paid by the government. Remember that you are responsible for paying back the whole loan, including interest after the first 12 month period
