Could we see a similar SBA loan scheme in the UK with this initiative.  
Could this support the self funded search community. 
With several Lenders recently pulling the plug on SME lending this would be greatly received.

Coming in late here, think everything has been covered, I don't believe the GGC is relevant at time of acquisition unfortunately.

Has anyone approached the BBB for funding recently? While the mandate and industry focus felt a bit narrow my experience with the BBB when raising debt for a loan book a few years ago was quite positive.
