Compass offers capital and interest-free business loans

The loan terms are between two and five years with no upfront or early settlement fees. They are delivered via a faster and simplified application process, enabling loan decisions to typically be made within 24 hours.

To be eligible for one of these loans, businesses will need to meet the following criteria:

• UK-based business that’s been adversely affected by coronavirus


• Turnover of up to £45 million


• Three years of trading history


• Over 50% of turnover from trading activity


• Loan is for business purposes


• Loan primarily for trading in the UK

Compass Business Finance is inviting applications with immediate effect and have committed to doing all it can to help businesses access the funding they need. If a business has already applied for, or received CBILS finance from another source, it can also apply for further support through additional loans or refinancing from Compass.

Jamie Nelson, director of Compass Business Finance, commented: “New opportunities for business support are becoming available all the time, being able to offer loans that include the first 12-months capital and interest free is a major step forward. The changes in the application process are also a significant improvement, as this has been the cause of much pain to businesses to this point.”

It is important to be aware that a company is unable to receive funding via both the Bounce Back and Business Interruption (CBILS) loan schemes.
