dc.description | The Credit Guarantee Scheme (CGS) provides a State guarantee through the Department of
Business, Enterprise & Innovation (the “Department”) to accredited Lenders (Allied Irish
Banks, Bank of Ireland and Ulster Bank Ireland) of 80 per cent on eligible loans or Performance
Bonds to viable Micro, Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs). The Guarantee is paid by
the State (the “Guarantor”) to the Lender on the unrecovered outstanding principal balance
on a Scheme Facility in the event of a Borrower defaulting on the Scheme Facility repayments.
The purpose of the Scheme is to encourage additional lending to SMEs, not to substitute for
conventional lending. SMEs are thus enabled to develop a positive track record with the
Lender with the objective of returning to standard commercial credit facilities in time. It will
also place Irish SMEs on a competitive level-footing relative to other trading competitors who
are able to avail of a guarantee in their own countries.
It is important to note that funds provided under the Scheme are neither a grant nor a
support for ailing businesses or customers in difficulty. All decision-making at the level of the
individual Scheme Facility is fully devolved to the participating Lenders.
The Credit Guarantee Scheme 2017 became operational in July 2018. The Department has
appointed the Strategic Banking Corporation of Ireland (SBCI) as Operator. | en |
