How it works and overview of the government scheme:
Overview
•The Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan Scheme (CBILS) is a UK government guarantee scheme established in March 2020 with the aim of assisting SMEs to access finance during the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
•The CBILS guarantee is provided by the UK government to us (the lender) and not to you (the borrower).
•It enables us (the lender) to provide you (the borrower) with funding that we (the lender) might otherwise have been unable to provide, due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic liability.
•The provision of the CBILS Guarantee does NOT remove any of your (the borrower) liability for repaying your (the borrower) CBILS-supported facility (nor, if applicable, does it reduce the liability of any personal guarantor of the CBILS-Supported Facility).
•In the event of you (the borrower) defaulting on your (the borrower) loan repayments (for example, failing to make specific repayments as and when they fall due), we (the lender) are entitled to seek to recover the full amount outstanding from you (the borrower).
•Any monies received by us (the lender) under the CBILS guarantee does not reduce your (the borrower) liability in any way.

Find out more about Development Finance
Can I get finance for my first project?
Yes. There’s always a way that we can get a loan set up, so long as the proposed project makes sense.
How much can I borrow?
Traditional development finance will cover up to 90% of your total costs, and/or up to 70% of your ‘Gross Development Value’. If you require more funding than this, then we do have profit share options available, whereby you could have all of your costs covered.
Can I do the work myself?
So long as you have experience of completing similar projects, then this won’t be an issue. If it’s your first project, or if it’s an increase in project size then there will be some areas we may need to look at such as
Can I re-finance an existing loan?
Yes, whether you need to borrow more than originally planned on a project (using Mezzanine Finance), or if your current finance is coming to an end (Development Exit); we’ll be able to re-finance your project.
What costs are involved?
The upfront costs that should be budgeted for are typically a valuation report on the property/project, and for legal costs (for you and the lender). Any other costs involved such as arrangement fees can be added to the loan so don’t need to be budgeted for up-front.
Can I apply to a lender direct?
Historically, your bank may have offered you a loan for property development. In today’s climate, there are a variety of complex factors to consider when choosing the correct lender. Although some lenders may accept direct applications, we’d suggest working with a broker who can choose the right lender for you. You’ll be secure in the knowledge that you don’t run the risk of funding falling through, and that you’re getting the best deal.
