Recovery Loan Scheme

What is the Recovery Loan Scheme?

The Recovery Loan Scheme (RLS) was launched on 6th April 2021 to help UK businesses access finance as they recover following the Covid-19 pandemic.

The scheme supports businesses affected by coronavirus and can be used for business purposes, such as managing cash flow, investment, and growth.

The Recovery Loan Scheme is currently open to businesses of any size to support them to access loans and other kinds of finance.

The government guarantees 80% of the finance to the lender. As the borrower, you are always 100% liable for the debt.
