Recovery loan scheme

What is the Recovery Loan Scheme?

The Recovery Loan Scheme (RLS) launched on 6 April 2021 and supported access to finance for UK businesses as they recovered and grew following the Covid-19 pandemic.

This scheme has now closed and been replaced by the Growth Guarantee Scheme.
