If you need lending support during the Coronavirus outbreak, we're helping business customers by offering variable rate loans through the Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan Scheme (CBILS). CBILS helps customers with a variable rate loan by ensuring that they don’t need to pay any interest and arrangement fees for the first 12 months.
CBILS loans are available to existing Co-operative Bank Business customers only, with options to borrow between £50,001 to £5million, depending on your business entity type, with a repayment period of between 3 months and 6 years.
All sectors can apply excluding:
