	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/03/2022 answer text <p>The Department is unable to provide information relating to loan amounts for individual companies as this information is commercially sensitive for both investors and investee businesses.</p><p>All investee companies were required to certify that they met the UK nationality criteria as part of the process of signing the Convertible Loan Agreement. Businesses provided details of their country of incorporation, UK Company registration number as well as the citizenship of company officers and an ownership structure chart or supporting documentation showing ultimate beneficial owners of the company. These details were checked as part of the eligibility checks carried out. As this particular business was pre-revenue and pre-operational at the time of application, these checks also satisfied the requirement that over half of employees should be UK-based or half of revenues should be from UK sales.</p><p>Licensing is a matter for the Civil Aviation Authority. A UK Air Operator Certificate has not been granted to this company to date.<strong><em> </em></strong></p> answering member printed Lord Callanan question first answered 29/03/2022 15:27:50 answering member 4336 label Biography information for Lord Callanan

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/05/2023 answer text <p>Licensing is a matter for the Civil Aviation Authority.</p><p>The repayment of monies obtained through the Future Fund is not driven by businesses becoming operational. The Future Fund is invested through a standardised 3-year term Convertible Loan Agreement (‘CLA’); the CLA either converts to equity or is repaid in accordance with the terms of the agreement. The full scheme eligibility criteria and rules can be viewed on the British Business Bank’s website.</p> answering member printed The Earl of Minto question first answered 17/05/2023 15:09:10 answering member 4952 label Biography information for The Earl of Minto
