Also, reading the link start to finish, I think it's pretty clear who they will be going for first and foremost! I think some would definitely have to be very worried if they've already spent the grant or bounce back loan.
You can use the bounce back loan to invest in the future of your company. There’s even blogs on the gov website about investing. I’m using my loan for that very purpose!
Thats great. They want you to invest, you did. They will encourage borrowing. You've still got to pay it back.
Here's an example i see as potential trouble...................
Guy claims the SEISS grant........................ he's been adversley affected.
Same guy now gets a bounce back loan...........................
What does he spend it on? Advertising, getting new customers, etc ? No, a new vehicle.
Now , if you have been adversley affected in your business in a negative way .................. why would you shell out for a new vehicle ?
How could you afford to ? So if you know you got the payments there, then what happened ? Its like shooting fish in a barrell.
I know this pandemic has caused us all to lose our nut a bit and do mad things........ but ultimatley you'll (anyone i mean) be liable for your own descisions.
