Larger Business Loans from £25,001
The Recovery Loan Scheme (RLS) launched on 6 April 2021 and supports access to finance for UK businesses as they recover and grow following the Covid-19 pandemic.
Businesses who have already taken out a CBILS, CLBILS or BBLS facility are able to access the scheme.
If you require a loan between £25,001 and £2 million and you meet scheme criteria and our credit criteria, we may be able to offer you a loan under the Recovery Loan Scheme.

If you would like to apply for the Recovery Loan Scheme please submit your application by 27th May 2022. We will be unable to accept applications after this date. We cannot guarantee that all eligible applications received will be offered by 30th June 2022.

Enquire about our Business Loan
To enquire about either a Lloyds Bank secured Business Loan or the Recovery Loan Scheme, please answer a few questions.
-
Do I need to have a Business Current Account with Lloyds Bank to apply for a Business Loan?
You can apply for a Lloyds Bank Business Loan without having a Business Current Account with us. If your application is successful and you do not wish to open a Business Current Account with us, we will open a fee-free Loan Servicing Account until your Business Loan is repaid. You will be given this choice during your application.
We are only offering the government-backed Recovery Loan Scheme to existing Lloyds Bank business customers. If Lloyds Bank do not provide your main business relationship, please speak to your main bank for support in the first instance.
Can I switch my Lloyds Bank Business Current Account after taking out a Business Loan?
Yes, you are able to switch your Business Current Account to another provider while retaining your Business Loan. If you choose to close your Business Current Account with us, we will open a fee-free Loan Servicing Account until your Business Loan is repaid.
ANY PROPERTY GIVEN AS SECURITY, WHICH MAY INCLUDE YOUR HOME, MAY BE REPOSSESSED IF YOU DO NOT KEEP UP REPAYMENTS ON YOUR MORTGAGE OR OTHER DEBTS SECURED ON IT.
All lending is subject to a satisfactory credit assessment and we will need your permission to carry out a credit check on you and your business.
You should not apply for an amount that you cannot comfortably afford to repay now and in the future to avoid the possibility of legal action.
There is always the possibility that interest rates may go down, leaving a fixed rate loan at a higher level compared to a variable rate loan. However, if interest rates rise, a fixed rate loan will remain at the same rate.
