After attending The Chamber of Commerce Webinar this morning, on the Small Business Cashflow Scheme, below are some important points that we would like to share:
* Applications open 12 May 2020 (tomorrow)
* Closing date 12 June 2020 (maybe extended dependent on demand)
* Only Business owners to apply through MyIR account, NOT Tax Agents
* Funds MUST be used ONLY for fixed costs
* Interest free loan for 12 months, thereafter 3% will be charged and back dated from date of application.
* Loan to be repaid within 5 years. Payments are optional for the first 24 months (2 years).
* This is a one off unsecured loan – you cannot reapply if you need more funds later.
* Funds will be deposited into nominated bank accounts within 5 working days after received application.
* This scheme DIFFERS from the Business Finance Guarantee Scheme that the banks are offering.
Please seek financial advice for what scheme best suits your business needs.
