    oh . . . well my ltd account is with Cater Allen but they aren't doing Bouncebacks (yet)

    HSBC will do your bounceback loan even if you don't bank with, they open a temp feeder account for the purpose of getting the loan and close it immediately after you transfer the funds out,

    but you have to call and apply for it, hence the Q
    Oh ok - I bank with HSBC so didn't have to do that. Just a 10 min online application and the money arrived within a few days

      Got there before me.

      I have applied this morning.

        Application yesterday morning, docs signed in the afternoon and cash in the bank that evening!
        Applied Friday, but this is the 'as a favour to Cater Allen' application. No email or forms as yet. There are no doubt some extra hurdles for them to jump over...

          Emailed forms came in from Santander on Thursday. Six days from application.

          Duly signed and returned. Will inform when cash is in bank.

                Seemed to be a bit longer than others' experiences direct to Santander, but all landed end in Cater yesterday. A week for forms, and a week after signing and submission.

                Very efficient.

                    Also interested in this...

                    Loan is very clear: "Not a personal loan and no director's assets at risk"

                    So, on the surface, looks like its just another creditor. However, I guess if the Insolvency service start digging (if the shut down is not clean), then they may take a dim view of you taking the loan, paying a div and then pulling the plug.

                    That said, the loan is to assist businesses in surviving the CV19 downturn, so taking the loan and sitting it out for 12 months, taking a "fair" PAYE wage, not divs, before pulling the plug due to market conditions... would seem legitimate.

                    Why don't we wait and see how someone else gets on first?

                      The lending bank is a creditor to your company and will expect repayment, just like any other creditor.
