Conduct: On 08 May 2020, Bukola Akintoye (“Ms. Akintoye”) caused Hilltop Care Services Ltd (“HCS”) to breach the terms and conditions of the Bounce Back Loan (“BBL”) scheme by applying for a BBL when she knew or ought to have known that HCS was not entitled to funds from the BBL scheme. Ms. Akintoye also failed to ensure that the BBL funds were used for the economic benefit of HCS contrary to the terms of the BBL scheme, in that:    • Under the BBL scheme, a business could apply for a BBL if it had been adversely affected by Covid-19 and had been engaged in trading or commercial activity in the UK at the date of the application and was carrying on business on 01 March 2020. 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 that for the calendar year 2019 or where a business was established after 01 January 2019, it was their estimated annual turnover from the date the business started trading. The BBL funds could only be used to provide economic benefit to the company and not for personal purposes. • On 08 May 2020, Ms. Akintoye applied for a BBL of £50,000 on behalf of HCS. The application asked Ms. Akintoye to declare turnover for the calendar year 2019. Ms. Akintoye declared turnover for HCS was £200,000. HCS received the BBL funds of £50,000 on 12 May 2020. • HCS was incorporated on 31 January 2018. HCS’ bank account’s opening balance is listed as £48 on 04 April 2019. Bank statements evidence that HCS received no trading income between 04 April 2019 and 11 May 2020, the date before the BBL was received. HCS’ filed dormant accounts for the periods ending 31 January 2019 and 31 January 2020. • Based on evidence shown in both formal accounts and company bank statements HCS would not have been eligible to apply for a BBL of any amount, and HCS therefore received BBL funds of £50,000 to which it was not entitled. • Ms. Akintoye has not provided any documentary evidence to show that the company was trading at the time of the BBL application and carrying on business on 01 March 2020 or to support the turnover figure of £200,000 declared on the BBL application. • Between 26 May 2020 and 11 June 2020, £43,000 was transferred from HCS’s bank account to Ms. Akintoye. The balance on the account prior to receipt of the BBL was £48. During the period of 26 May 2020 to 11 June 2020, HCS received no trading income. Of the £43,000 transferred to Ms Akintoye , £42,952 therefore came solely from BBL funds. • Between receipt of the BBL and closure of HCS’ bank account Ms Akintoye made payments into the account of £13,280. • Ms. Akintoye has not provided any evidence that the remaining BBL funds of £29,672 transferred to her were used for the economic benefit of HCS •  On 21 March 2024, HCS entered Creditor’s Voluntary Liquidation with total liabilities of £38,527, of which £38,525 was owed in respect of the BBL and interest and charges.
