Conduct: 1. On 23 September 2020 Mrs Petra Celi (“Mrs Celi”) dishonestly or recklessly caused Robin Children Services Ltd ("Robin) to apply for and obtain a £45,000 Bounce Back Loan (BBL), contrary to the initial BBL application criteria, when Robin was not engaged in trading or commercial activity in the UK at the date of the BBL application. As a result, Robin was not entitled to obtain a BBL at all, in that: • Under the BBL scheme, businesses could apply for a loan of between £2,000 and £50,000 if they were carrying on business on 01 March 2020, engaged in trading or commercial activity in the United Kingdom as at the date of the BBL application and had been adversely affected by COVID-19. • Robin was incorporated on 29 December 2014 and supplied after-school club services. • Mrs Celi stated that Robin ceased trading in July 2020, with the evidence indicating that this was due to an unaffordable rental arrangement from Robin’s landlord. Mrs Celi stated that notice was given to the landlord in the summer of 2020 and provided evidence showing that Robin would no longer be providing services from September 2020. • Robin was de-registered with Ofsted as of 13 August 2020. • On 22 September 2020, Mrs Celi applied for a Bounce Back Loan of £45,000 on behalf of Robin. • Robin was not engaged in trading or commercial activity at the date of the BBL application and therefore, Robin was not eligible to receive a BBL. 2. In addition, or in the alternative, on 23 September 2020, Mrs Celi knowingly or recklessly caused Robin to apply for and obtain a Bounce Back Loan (BBL) of £45,000 using overstated turnover figures in the application form. Consequently, Robin received at least £38,520 more than it was entitled to from the BBL scheme, in that: • 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 selfcertified by the applicant. Where a business was established before 01 January 2019, the turnover figure required was that for the calendar year 2019 or where a business was established after 1 January 2019, the estimated turnover for the business. • Robin was incorporated on 29 December 2014 and was established prior to 01 January 2019. • On 22 September 2020, Mrs Celi applied for a Bounce Back Loan of £45,000 on behalf of Robin.Mrs Celi declared on the application form a turnover figure of £180,000 for Robin. • Accounts filed for the year ended 31 April 2019 show a turnover of £22,471. • Accounts filed for the year ended 31 April 2020 show a turnover of £23,450. • Robin’s calendar year turnover for 2019 could not have exceeded £45,921. Mrs Celi therefore applied for and obtained a Bounce Back Loan that was at least £33,520 in excess of what Robin was entitled to under the terms of the Bounce Back Loan scheme. • On 25 September 2020, BBL funds of £45,000 were paid into Robin’s bank account. • At liquidation, Robin had liabilities totaling £44,223 of which at least £34,835 was outstanding in respect of the BBL. 3. On 25 September 2020, Mrs Celi caused Robin to expend at least £43,000 of the BBL funds received for purposes which did not provide economic benefit to the Company, which was in breach of the BBL terms and conditions in that: • Under the terms and conditions of the BBL scheme, any money received under the scheme was to be used to provide economic benefit to the business. • On 22 September 2020, Mrs Celi applied for a BBL of £45,000. The BBL agreement stipulated that the BBL funds provided were only to be used for the economic benefit of Robin. • On 25 September 2020, Robin received the BBL funds of £45,000. • On 25 September 2020, £43,000 was paid out from Robin’s bank account to Mrs Celi’s personal bank account with the transaction reference “PETRA CELI SURVIVOR”. • On 14 December 2023, Mrs Celi provided a word document invoice dated 30 April 2021 allegedlyevidencing how the BBL funds were used to provide economic benefit to Robin. The invoice was an investment receipt of £45,000 to Company B (“the Investment Company”), Mrs Celi has not explained why the invoice was dated 7 months after receipt of the BBL funds nor has Mrs Celi provided any banking evidence of the transfer of £45,000 from her personal account to the Investment Company. Companies House filings for the Investment Company for years ending May 2021 and May 2022 do not account for the £45,000 investment and both show ‘Net current assets and liabilities’ of £0. Mrs Celi husband has been a director of the Investment Company from 2015 to date and is an active person with significant control. • At liquidation, Robin had liabilities totaling £44,223 of which at least £34,835 was outstanding in respect of the BBL.
