Conduct: Kelly Best (“Miss Best”) caused Harlow MOT Centre Limited (“Harlow”) to breach the conditions of the Bounce Back Loan (“BBL”) Scheme by overstating the company’s turnover for the calendar year 2019 and obtaining a BBL of £34,000, when it would have been eligible for a loan of at most £7,163. Of the £34,000 Harlow received, £26,841 was paid out to the benefit of Miss Best and her associates contrary to the conditions for the use of a BBL.
