BBL repayments have started again - what happens if you genuinely can’t afford them?
A lot of directors are finding that Bounce Back Loan repayments have quietly become the biggest pressure point in their business.
Common situations include:
- Repayments restarting after interest-only periods
- Cashflow being swallowed by HMRC and suppliers
- Using overdrafts or credit cards just to keep up
What’s important to understand:
- Missing a BBL repayment doesn’t mean instant enforcement
- The loan usually sits with the company, not automatically the director
- Problems tend to arise when things are ignored for too long
Have BBL repayments become your biggest monthly stress?
