What is CBILS?
The Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan Scheme has
been set up to oer viable businesses the option to secure
long term finance to help provide immediate cash flow
relief to help them survive through the pandemic.
The scheme includes a guarantee to Atom from the
government to cover up to 80% of the outstanding
principal balance of the loan and this guarantee will be
taken into account when pricing the loan.
Please note: The guarantee is in favour of Atom and not
the borrower.
The government will also oer a Business Interruption
Payment (BIP) to cover the first 12 months of interest
payments and any lender-levied fees, such as valuation
costs. This means businesses will, if they elect, benefit
from no upfront costs and lower initial repayments. As
part of any loan oer Atom makes, we will ask you to opt-
in to receive the BIP from the scheme. If you do not opt-in
to the BIP, you will remain liable for the interest payments
for the first 12 months and any lender-levied fees.
Please note: As with any other commercial transaction,
the borrower is always responsible for repayment of the
full value of any loan facility supported by CBILS. This
means the borrower remains liable for the full balance of
the loan at all times and will be responsible for making
all payments. Should the borrower fail to repay the loan
on time, Atom bank will seek to recover 100% of monies
owed from the borrower.
Atom bank has joined the scheme and is able to oer
CBILS supported loans on eligible applications for our
secured term loan product.
