Bounce Back Loan Changes; SME Brexit Support Fund; and Business Borrowing in 2020
Kickstarting this latest Business Finance Bulletin, we review the changes announced to the Bounce Back Loan scheme. The tweaks to the scheme will help those small businesses which are seeing a slower uptick in trading than hoped for.

To wrap up this edition, research from EY ITEM Club has revealed the level of debt businesses took on in 2020 and how the amount is significantly higher than seen in previous years.
