All-Party Parliamentary Group on Fair Business Banking research has suggested that up to 250,000 small businesses ‘are effectively locked out of the market’, given they do not bank with accredited lenders.
Kevin Hollinrake, the Conservative MP and co-chair of the APPGFG, told SmallBusiness.co.uk:
“We welcome the extension to Bounce Back Loans (BBLS) and the ability to top up, but it is critical that banks are open for new business including from new customers.
“Over the last few weeks the handful of lenders who were open to new
