About Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan
- The Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan scheme (CBILS) is a government initiative to support small and medium-sized businesses affected by the coronavirus outbreak
- The government provides lenders like Ulster Bank, with a guarantee for 80% of qualifying loans
- You will have to repay this loan in full including interest
- The loan term is up to 6 years
- For the full details of your specific loan and commitments, refer to the loan agreement you signed before receiving your loan
Any property or asset used as a security may be repossessed or forfeited if you do not keep up repayments on any debt secured on it.
Your CBILS loan term
The maximum term of your CBILS loan is 6 years
You can make additional repayments at any time with no early repayment fee, and doing so will also help save you money on your interest rate.
CBILS loan interest rate
- Interest on your CBILS loan will be a Fixed or Variable interest rate
- The interest rate applied to your CBILS loan will be detailed in your loan agreement or advice letter if any changes have been applied
- Interest during the first 12 months will be paid by the government. Remember that you are responsible for paying back the whole loan, including interest after the first 12 month period
Making repayments on your CBILS loan
12 month repayment holiday
- Upon drawdown, we applied an automatic 12 month repayment holiday
- Your repayments are due to start 1 month after the repayment holiday ends
Making your payments
- You can make extra repayments or repay the loan early without penalty
- You must repay the loan and interest in full by the final repayment date in your loan agreement
Your repayment account
- You'll need a current or loan servicing account with us for your repayments
Payments will be required to cover your monthly repayments and interest as advised
