RM Funds accredited by the British Business Bank under the Recovery Loan Scheme

RM Funds announce that the firm has been accredited as a lender by the British Business Bank to provide loans through the Recovery Loan Scheme ("RLS").

The Recovery Loan Scheme supports access to finance for UK businesses as they recover and grow following the COVID-19 pandemic. Funds from the scheme can be used for any legitimate business purpose, including managing cashflow, growth and investment. It is designed to appeal to businesses that can afford to take out additional finance for these purposes. Businesses who have accessed a CBILS, CLBILS or BBLS facility are also able to access the RLS scheme.

Pietro Nicholls, Portfolio Manager, RM Funds, commented: "We are delighted to continue the relationship with the British Business Bank as an accredited delivery partner for the Recovery Loan Scheme. The Covid-19 pandemic led to unprecedented stress for UK SMEs, disrupting business operations, cash flow and the livelihoods of stakeholders. As we now emerge from the pandemic, RM Funds in partnership with our institutional investors and as an RLS lender aims to support UK businesses in achieving their strategic objectives and the next phase of their growth."

James Robson, Chief Investment Officer, RM Funds, further commented: "RM Funds provides catalytic capital. We have always been conscious of our ability to positively impact society through the generation of economic, environmental, and social benefits. The accreditation from BBB will see RM Funds further support UK businesses as they continue to recover from the global health pandemic."
