Growth Guarantee Scheme
The Growth Guarantee Scheme helps businesses of all sizes, with access to loans of up to £2 million.
What is the Growth Guarantee Scheme?
The Growth Guarantee Scheme is the successor to the Recovery Loan Scheme.
It is designed to support access to finance for UK smaller businesses as they look to invest and grow.
The Growth Guarantee Scheme enables UK businesses of any size to access loans and other kinds of finance of up to £2m per business.
The funding can be used for any legitimate business purposes, including business growth and investment.
Like the Recovery Loan Scheme, the government will continue to guarantee 70% of the finance to the lender, however, personal guarantees can be taken at the lender’s discretion.
Businesses that have already received support under existing COVID-19 guaranteed loan schemes (such as CBILS, Bounce Back and RLS loans) will still be eligible to access the growth guarantee scheme.
