These give businesses the option to take a a six month full repayment holiday, and to extend their Bounce Back Loan repayments over ten years, reducing their average monthly repayments on the loan by almost half. Businesses also have the option to move to interest-only payments for periods of up to six months (an option which they can use up to three times).</p><p> </p><p>For those who borrowed under the Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan Scheme (CBILS), the Government has taken action to allow lenders to provide borrowers with more time to make their repayments where they assess that borrowers are in difficulty and will benefit from the extension.</p><p> </p><p>While it is too early to give a definitive view on the final level of payments, current levels of failure to repay are lower than some of the worst-case scenarios cited by critics: early data shows that businesses have made a positive start to repayments, with the significant majority of businesses meeting monthly repayments. A proportion of businesses have chosen to repay their loan in full already and current levels of distress amongst borrowers are relatively low.</p><p> </p><p>The latest publicly available data can be found here: https://www.british-business-bank.co.uk/covid-19-emergency-loan-schemes-repayment-data/.</p> answering member constituency Salisbury answering member printed John Glen question first answered 14/03/2022 15:04:33 answering member 4051 label Biography information for John Glen
