ICSM Credit's Ian Carrotte: banks are taking advantage of businesses in trouble due to the coronavirus crisis Thousands of small and medium sized firms along with many self-employed people will go bust this year due to the coronavirus shutting warns ICSM Credit’s Ian Carrotte. He said: “Chancellor Rishi Sunak said two weeks ago that businesses would be able to walk into bank branches and discuss Coronavirus Business Interruption loans of up to £5m to help them survive the shutdown. This is window dressing as the truth is banks see an opportunity to make money with high interest rates, ask for security like the title deeds of a home or simply say no. “There’s anecdotal evidence that some banks are charging 30% interest and they are taking advantage of the situation. It’s easy for politicians to make these statements but harder to make them happen.” Online Simply Business analysed official government data over the five-year period 2014 to 2018 to get the average annual rat...

ICSM Credit: the courts are open and firms are paying invoices – if we apply pressure What a joke: 'I tried to get a Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan' By April 14, only 6,020 of the Government’s Coronavirus Business Interruption Loans had been granted out of more than 300,000 applications. “The system is not coping,” said Ian Carrotte of ICSM Credit. “As an exercise I applied for one with Nat West and plucked the figure of £20,000 out of the air as I don’t need one. I went online and completed the details for the interest free 12 month loan with a £150 completion fee at the end. All fine so far but that was two weeks ago. I’ve chased it up and so far there’s no communication, no paperwork sent and nothing to sign. It’s a joke. Businesses need cash fast as many are teetering on the brink of collapse.” His experience is reflected across all industries and across all parts of the country as CEOs and finance directors bang their heads against a brick wall in...

RAPSCALLION MAGAZINE Theatre Review: too many nuns with beards in the Bristol Old Vic’s misfiring Cyrano that mismatches the leading characters in Edward Rostand’s 17th century story of unrequited love The marketing image used by the theatre to promote the play Cyrano. Bristol Old Vic. A bit like Cyrano’s nose, Tom Morrison’s production of Edmond Rostand’s play Cyrano de Bergerac was too long and like the nose, the casting wasn’t an exact fit. A towering Sara Powell as the beautiful Roxanne who stomped about the stage like a Japanese rugby prop forward was ill matched to the petite Christian underplayed by Patrycja Kujawska. Patrycja had boyish good looks but didn’t convince as the testosterone fuelled soldier while Sara Powell has an excellent voice but didn’t have the body language of the play’s love interest. Why there were so many nuns played by men with beards was another casting mystery as the misfiring drama failed to decide if it was a romantic comedy, a rom...
