Conduct: On 13 January 2021, Mr William Samuel Byron (“Mr Byron”) caused AR Discs Ltd (“AR Discs”) to breach the terms and conditions of the Bounce Back Loan (“BBL”) scheme by overestimating its turnover on the BBL application, as a result AR Discs 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 where a business was established after 01 January 2019, was its estimated turnover. • Businesses established after 01 January 2019 should have applied the 25% limit to its estimated annual turnover from the date the business was started.  • AR Discs was incorporated on 17 January 2019. • AR Discs filed dormant accounts for the period 17 January 2019 to 31 January 2020.  • A bank account was opened for AR Discs on 26 November 2020. • AR Discs’ accounting records and bank statements show its first trade receipt on 15 December 2020. • On 13 January 2021, Mr Byron applied for a BBL of £50,000 on behalf of AR Discs declaring that its estimated turnover was £500,000.  • AR Discs’ bank statements show total receipts of £4,846.85 up to the date of the BBL application form, over a 2-month period. Based on this amount a reasonable estimate of AR Discs annual turnover would be £29,081, entitling it to a BBL of £7,270.28. • Mr Byron has not provided any evidence to show how the estimated turnover figure of £500,000 was determined. • The overestimation of turnover resulted in AR Discs receiving at least £42,729.72 more than it was entitled to from the BBL Scheme. • On 22 February 2023, AR Discs entered Creditor’s Voluntary Liquidation with total liabilities of £92,959.27, of which £50,958.82 was owed in respect of the BBL.
