Bounce Back Loan Scheme

Bounce Back Loan Scheme (BBLS) is launched by the UK government to help small and medium-sized businesses by offering them a government-backed loan between £2,000 and up to 25% of their turnover (maximum of £50,000). The main objective behind the scheme is to help small businesses survive the trading restrictions imposed due to Covid-19. Despite these measures, figures are quite disappointing, as a record number of businesses have been forced to close permanently leaving the BBLS outstanding.

What happens if you don’t pay back a Bounce Back Loan?

If you cannot pay back the Bounce Back Loan, your company may have already reached the insolvency level. Insolvency means that the key responsibilities of the director lies with the creditors and not with the shareholders, which means you can’t pay yourself, employees or any creditor based on your preference. Otherwise, it will be treated as wrongful trading on the part of the director, leading to a severe civil offence, ultimately making you personally liable as a director.

Steps you can take to avoid the personal liability for Bounce Back Loan

You can avoid the personal liability for Bounce Back Loan by adherence to the following –

  • If you have used the loan correctly but still unable to protect your company from liquidation, the debts of the company will be repaid from the sale of assets and rest of the debts will be written off.
  • The Insolvency practitioner will initiate an investigation, but if you have performed your duties as a director accurately and there was no misuse of the Bounce Back Loan, nobody can hold you personally liable, and there shouldn’t be further issues.

Unfortunately my son passed away without leaving any contact name of his accountant. I was able to make contact with the firm through HMRC. The staff were very prompt, caring and supportive in settling his income tax account. I was extremely impressed with the efficient caring and supportive service received from all of DNS staff.
