Greater Manchester Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan Scheme (GM CBILS)
The Greater Manchester Local Enterprise Partnership (GM LEP) working with the Growth Company, has unlocked an initial £3m package of urgently needed financial support for Greater Manchester businesses battling the impact of coronavirus. The funding was given emergency approval by the Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) and GM LEP, broadening funding eligibility and capacity to save jobs and businesses.
Private sector investors are invited to further boost the funding support available to struggling businesses in the region, working alongside the public sector to protect jobs.
Administered by GC Business Finance (GCBF), the Greater Manchester Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan Scheme (GM CBILS) is now ready to provide loans of between £5,000 and £250,000 to qualifying companies on a first come, first served basis. It will be delivered by GCBF alongside the Government Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan Scheme.
The GM CBILS backed funding will bring vital additional capacity to existing Government schemes, meaning that more business in Greater Manchester will have access to the funding they need to meet the challenge of the Coronavirus outbreak. This Greater Manchester approach will help support SMEs that may struggle to secure finance support from their banks survive and grow.
