Conduct: Mr Thomas Brian Bettle (“Mr Bettle) caused TB Maritime Ltd (“TBM”) to breach the terms and conditions of the Bounce Back Loan (“BBL”) scheme by making a false representation when declaring TBM’s turnover on the BBL application, which he knew or ought to have known was inaccurate, as a result TBM received more funds than it was entitled to from the BBL scheme. In that: • Under the BBL scheme businesses could apply for a loan of between £2,000 and £50,000 subject to a maximum of up to 25% of turnover. The turnover figure was self-certified by the applicant. The turnover figure required was for the calendar year 2019; or where a business was established after 01 January 2019, applicants were to provide their estimated turnover. • TBM was incorporated on 06 October 2017 and was therefore required to enter the turnover of the Company for the 2019 calendar year. • On 11 May 2020, Mr Bettle applied for a £50,000 BBL on behalf of the company, declaring the 2019 annual turnover to be £200,000. • On 12 May 2020, TBM received a BBL of £50,000 paid into its bank account. • TBM filed accounts for the period ending 31 October 2019 which showed turnover of £58,794. The accounts were signed by Mr Bettle on 02 April 2020 • TBM’s bank statements for the account show the total annual trading income for the calendar year 2019 as £63,446.46. • Based on the amount of trading income credited to the company’s bank account in 2019, TBM would have been entitled to apply for a BBL of £15,861.62. • The application was made by Mr Bettle at a time when he had access to, or ought to have been aware of the company's financial records and trading position. • Mr Bettle caused TBM to receive BBL funds of £34,138.39 to which it was not entitled. • TBM made BBL repayments totalling £14,553.23. • On 17 April 2025, TBM entered Creditors Voluntary Liquidation with total liabilities of £40,633 of which £40,005 was owed in respect of the BBL
