Re: Bounce Back Loans
Hi Ravisteam. I did exactly the same as you yesterday with HSBC and still waiting which I presume is probably normal. I don't believe you need to supply any documents and no credit checks are done as government are taking 100% of the risk. As my book keeper says "you will never get lending this cheap again so you should take advantage". Only if you need it of course and certainly didn't go for full 25% but enough to keep things ticking over. Interest is paid over 6 years but the government is paying year 1 interest although capital is paid over 5 years. If I hear back this morning about loan I will post back. Olly
Re: Bounce Back Loans
Took just over 24 hours to get mine from lloyds. Paid straight into bank a/c - nice surprise!
I could have had the full 50k, but only deciced on half of that - didn't want £950 month repayments for five years.
I took the view that if I had 50k I would use some of it to buy equipment I have no need for, such as an embroidery machine or a couple of DTG printers. That would work out as an expensive 'cheap' loan.
I have all the equipment I need, and £25k will keep the business going and allow me to still buy the planned upgrades I wanted to get this year.

Re: Bounce Back Loans
We had the digital form back yesterday but decided to alter loan amount so called up and just waiting for an updated version. Be interesting to see how long this might take.
Re: Bounce Back Loans
I am sort of regretting not going for the full £50k. I don't need it all, so didn't want to be saddled with larger repayments, but since you can pay back lump sums without penalty it would have made sense to review the situation in a years time.UK Printed Mugs;143069 wrote:We had the digital form back yesterday but decided to alter loan amount so called up and just waiting for an updated version.

Re: Bounce Back Loans
That was exactly my thought and managed to stop myself from digitally signing. Not sure how long I have to wait until the replacement comes mind. I will start to pay back from month one into a savings account so in theory will pay over 6 years. I have a friend who took the full 50k in order to pay their two kids private school fees!!!
