From today, participating lenders in the Bounce Back Loan Scheme (BBLS) are able to offer smaller businesses across the UK a ‘top-up’ to their existing Bounce Back Loan if they originally borrowed less than the maximum amount available to them.
The Bounce Back Loan top-up will be available from several large lenders, with others anticipated to make the top-up available in due course.
The top-ups are only available from a borrower’s existing BBLS lender. A borrower can apply for a top-up that is for the lesser of £50k or 25% of the annual turnover the borrower certified in their original successful BBLS application form, minus the value of their original loan.
The scheme was unveiled in May to support smaller businesses during the pandemic, offering loans of up to £50,000, with the value of the loan fully guaranteed by the Government.
It formed part of the Government’s emergency loan package that also included the below schemes – find out more about which loan could be suitable for your business:

The Chancellor announced the top-up loan along with extending the new applications deadline for the loan schemes from November to January 31, 2021, following the recent lockdown in England.
