We were pleased to hear about the new bounce back loans which we consider will be really useful to a lot of ADIs. This was discussed on our last weekly webinar but the information is in the following links.

Mike Cherry, Federation of Small Businesses National Chairman, said:

“This crucial new initiative should enable thousands of small businesses to access the working capital they need quickly, helping to protect the millions of jobs they provide in every part of the UK.”

This is information from the FSB website on their view of Bounce Back.

Information on the Government’s new Bounce Back loans.  And we received this document from Graham Lucas of Smart Driving on the same topic.
