Conduct: Mr Anthony Paul Dykes (“Mr Dykes”) caused AA Deck Operations Offshore Limited (“AA Deck”) to obtain a Bounce Back Loan (“BBL”) of £50,000 by providing false turnover on the BBL application when he knew or ought to have known that the company was not entitled to a loan of that amount, in that: • Under the BBL scheme, businesses could apply for a BBL of between £2,000 and £50,000 subject to a maximum of up to 25% of their 2019 turnover, if it was carrying on business on 01 March 2020, engaged in trading or commercial activity in the UK at the date of the application, and had been adversely affected by the Covid pandemic. Businesses incorporated after 01 January 2019 were asked to estimate their turnover from the date the business started. • AA Deck was incorporated on 09 October 2018 and was therefore required to apply for a BBL based on its actual turnover • On 16 October 2019, Mr Dykes opened a company bank account for AA Deck. Statements for the bank account show that between 16 October 2019 and 30 June 2020, trading income of £8,698 was received, • AA Deck’s accounts for the period 09 October 2018 to 31 March 2020 recorded turnover of £11,418. • On or around 30 June 2020, Mr Dykes applied for a £50,000 BBL on behalf of AA Deck, declaring its turnover as £2,000,000. • On 30 June 2020, AA Deck received the £50,000 BBL funds into the company bank account. • Based on the turnover in the company accounts, the maximum BBL that AA Deck was eligible to apply for was £2,855 and it therefore obtained £47,145 more than it was entitled to. • Mr Dykes knew or ought to have known, that the turnover figure provided in the application was materially false given the limited level of trading undertaken by AA Deck. • AA Deck was wound up on 20 August 2025 with liabilities of £50,873, all of which related to the BBL.
