What are the Terms?

The application process and lending criteria are the same although you will be expected to repay the £50,000 to your original BBL Provider, out of the new CBILS Loan.    Contact us for more information and we will talk you through the process.

How will you use your CBILS Loan?

£250,000 for a well-established manufacturing business over 5 years

£250,000 for an independent fashion retailer over 5 years

£250,000 for a safety systems manufacturer over 5 years and monies received by the client in 3 working days

£150,000 for a café and retail shop funded over 5 years

Why use a Broker?   Why not go straight to the Bank?

Using an accredited Finance Broker will help get you started - Reality Finance will provide you with advice and information to point you towards the right Lender.   We have already successfully provided CBILS for both Loans and Asset Finance to a handful of customers and know what Lenders to approach, depending on your needs.    Reality Finance will do all the hard work for you when applying for either CBILS Loans or Asset Finance,  by approaching our panel of Lenders and coming back with the right set of options for your business.

For Vendors, Suppliers or Resellers:

Many of your customers will be asking whether you can offer monthly payment terms. This is where  Reality Finance will be able to help your business.   Contact us for more information.
