Recipients of any Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan Scheme (CBILS) loans made by any lender are entitled to apply for business interruption payments from the Government which cover the interest and any lender-levied fees in the first 12 months of any CBILS facility.

We are unable to provide of a breakdown of CBILS data by lender as this is commercially sensitive. However, data on individual loans will be published, where required on the European Commission’s Transparency Aid Module, in due course.
