Pay As You Grow - Application Form

Below is our form if you wish to apply for a Pay As You Grow option on your Bounce Back Loan.

Key Features of Pay As You Grow

If you expect to be in a better position to repay in the future you may want to consider the following options under Pay As You Grow:

  • Reduce your monthly repayments for six months by paying interest only
  • Take a payment holiday for six months

If you're only able to repay a smaller amount, you may also want to consider the following option under Pay As You Grow:

  • Request an extension of your loan term from six years to 10 years

You will only be allowed to select one option from either 'Interest Only', 'Payment Holiday' or 'Term Extension'. Additionally, depending on your scenario, you might also be able to take out a 'Term Extension' alongside an Interest Only or Payment Holiday.

SMS messages will be sent to you to keep you informed of the progress of your application and will be sent to the mobile number we currently hold for your account. If you would like to update your contact information or if you don’t receive these messages please contact us.


Interest Only

You could reduce your monthly repayments for six months by paying interest only.

  • The total amount you owe will go up. This is because your interest costs increase as a larger amount of your loan is outstanding for longer and you're repaying your loan over a longer period.
  • This option is available up to three times during the term of your Bounce Back loan.

Sorry, an 'Interest Only' can only be applied for three times during the term of your Bounce Back Loan, therefore you can't continue with this application. Please consider the other options available to you.

Either confirm you have not already extended the term to the maximum of 10 years, or reselect your options without a term extension.


Payment Holiday

You could take a payment holiday for six months.

  • You'll make no capital repayments or interest payments during this time.
  • The total you owe will go up. This is because your interest costs increase as interest accrues during the payment holiday, a larger amount of your loan is outstanding for longer and you're repaying your loan over a longer period.
  • This option is available once during the term of your Bounce Back Loan.
Either confirm you have not already extended the term to the maximum of 10 years, or reselect your options without a term extension.

Please tick this box to proceed


Term Extension

If you're only able to repay a smaller amount each month you could request an extension of your loan term from six years to 10 years at the same interest rate.

  • Extending to 10 years would reduce monthly payments on your loan.
  • You'll accrue more interest, so the total amount repayable on your loan would increase.
  • If you're considering this option, you should think carefully about your ability to repay over a longer timeframe, taking into account such things as if you intend to cease trading or retire within the revised term of your Bounce Back Loan.
Either confirm you have not already extended the term to the maximum of 10 years, or consider other Pay As You Grow options still available to you.
