Just wondering whether it would be possible to furlough yourself to get the CJRS and at the same time take out a bounce back loan? I mean, what would you put down as the purpose of the loan, assuming you had to? You couldn't exactly say R&D or anything really that involved your input because you're furloughed? Wouldn't the logic be to claim the CJRS for as long as it lasts and when the scheme ends, apply for a bounce back loan? I'm figuring here that I'm going to give my plan B a proper go, instead of playing at it like I have done over time, and need to establish how long I can survive given the varying levels of support (and my own assets). Thoughts?

I don't know what the requirements are for the loan - I'm sure the detail will come out soon enough (if it's not out already).
I would get the loan first then furlough... -

You are running a business. You can apply for a loan and furlough your worker(s).
The minimum period of furlough is 3 weeks and requires documented consent.Comment
