10 Year Disqualification

Bradley Malone (“Mr Malone”) caused ONENETPRINT LTD (“ONENETPRINT”) to apply for a government backed Bounce Back Loan (BBL) totalling £50,000 which under the BBL scheme it did not have sufficient turnover to qualify for, resulting in ONENETPRINT receiving a larger BBL than it was entitled to.

In that:

  • The BBL criteria allowed a business to borrow between £2,000 and up to 25% of the company turnover in calendar year 2019, with a maximum loan of £50,000.
  • ONENETPRINT was incorporated on 12th March 2012.
  • Mr Malone applied for a BBL of £50,000 on 17th June 2020 stating that the company’s annual turnover was £200,000 confirming that the information provided in the application was complete and accurate.
  • Professionally prepared financial statements for ONENETPRINT for the period ending 31st March 2019 show turnover of £94,867. Bank statement analysis for the calendar year 2019 shows a total turnover of £90,246.
  • The result of Mr Molone’s actions was a BBL of £50,000 being paid into ONENETPRINT’s bank account on 18th June 2020.
  • However based on the turnover of £90,246 for the calendar year 2019 the maximum BBL that ONENETPRINT LTD was entitled to apply for was £22,561.
  • Mr Malone has overstated the company turnover on the application form resulting in ONENETPRINT receiving at least £27,438 in BBL proceeds that it was not entitled to receive.
  • ONENETPRINT entered liquidation on 22nd February 2022 with a debt of £50,000 owed to the BBL provider.
