V-shaped recession with £218bn extra borrowing this year returning to normal deficit level in 2021 according to ⁦@OBR_UK⁩. I think ⁦@RishiSunak⁩ and the business community would be very happy with this outcome.
Be very wary. Strings attached.
Take a look at how we’re supporting people, families & businesses during the Coronavirus outbreak:
Are banks really only set up to lend on the basis of personal guarantees?
A non-bank lender is pulling out of CBILS because they can't take personal guarantees under £250k. Wonder if that policy tweak has further reduced risk appetite of mainstream lenders too. Feels like structure of scheme is fundamentally inappropriate and wholesale rethink required

Bypass the banks.

Why the Bank of England and the gouvernement don’t open a office who will lend the money directly to the small business without the bank. It is the BE who give the money to the bank & the bank lend to small business to high interest & PG Like that no PG and 2.5% interest

Banks issue credit (balance sheet figures) and then charge interest to make profit. Small businesses work hard, employ people and create wealth. Business families should not be asked to assume all the risk of keeping the economy going. That is what Personal Guarantees would do.
Agree whether it’s placing on insurance basis or asking banks to take on their balance sheet for a while it’s a fiscal solution - but the businesses have to pay some price for the support either way

Would it be prudent for banks to hold off paying dividends just now? xitter.cf/BankVictims2020/status…
WHY are UK BANKS paying out 'BILLIONS' in DIVIDENDS over the next few weeks? UK Banks set to lose 'BILLIONS' over #COVID19 #Times articles 1. bankingvictims.com/31-march-… 2. bankingvictims.com/30-march-… #TuesdayThoughts #SelfEmployedMatterToo @fortfield @Hercules_petdog @d_farndon

Agreed- the govt. expects that banks go after the business first and exhaust those possibilites before calling on the guarantor. Many people will not believe this needs to be spelled out. Unfortunately it does, and absolute clarity about PGs is required.
No you have got the wrong way round They the govt expect that banks go after business assets before they the banks can call on the govt’s guarantee.So if bank does not think you have enough assets or security in your business They ask for PG if you do not have either?
Some banks reportedly still trying to profit from products with high interest rates and demanding homes as security when covid19 loans are requested.

Covid19 loans - reports (radio 4) now saying that the government as guarantor expect the bank to recover all possible monies from the business before the guarantee is called on. A significant step for guarantors.

Shame on those banks still demanding that people's homes and families are used as security for covid19 loans.

Some would argue that banks have not yet shed their sullied reputation - now it seems they could be at it again. thetimes.co.uk/article/banks…

And it won't be you who decides. Can't warn people enough about bank lawyers who manipulate figures and facts.

Your business will remain liable for 100pc of the debt, and as a director you may well be personally on the hook for some of it as many lenders will ask for personal guarantees. Your personal home will not be at risk but other personal assets might be.
