A local business to Stratford applied yesterday (5th May) to Lloyds for a £50k Business Bounce Back Loan under the scheme which went live on 4th May. The facility was approved and the money was credited to the businesses bank account today, 6th May.
I appreciate the facility is 100% backed by the government, although there are still risks to the lender but I think credit should be given to the Government for this and other Coronavirus Business Interruption Loans. Likewise, in this case, credit to Lloyds for the speed with which the loan was delivered.
Its vital the economy is kept going in order for a basic infrastructure to exist as and when we come through this crisis.
