Conduct: On 16 June 2020, Mrs Ankita Bedrekar (“Mrs Bedrekar”) applied for and obtained a Government-backed Bounce Back Loan (‘BBL’) of £50,000 on behalf of Metro Serviced Apartment Peterborough Ltd (‘Peterborough’) by providing false or knowingly inaccurate information regarding Peterborough’s actual turnover for the calendar year 2019, which only entitled it to £30,054 in BBL funding and therefore caused it to obtain £19,946 in excess of what it was entitled to. In addition, Mrs Bedrekar has failed to evidence that the BBL funds were used for the economic benefit of Peterborough, as required under the terms and conditions of 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 was that for the calendar year 2019 or where a business was established after 01 January 2019 the 25% limit was to be applied to the estimated turnover from the date the business started. • Peterborough was incorporated on 18 July 2017 and Mrs Bedreker has stated that it commenced trading immediately. • Peterborough filed accounts for the years ended 31 July 2019 and 31 July 2020, unabridged versions of which disclose turnover of, respectively, £117,749 and £93,888. • Peterborough was trading as at 01 January 2019 and it was not permitted under the terms and conditions of the BBL scheme to estimate its annual income in the BBL application. • On 16 June 2020, at which date she was the sole director of Peterborough and sole signatory on the company’s digital bank account, Mrs Bedrekar applied for a BBL and overstated Peterborough’s turnover by claiming it was £200,000 and requested the maximum BBL of £50,000. • Peterborough’s bank statements show that, in the calendar year 2019, gross trading receipts amounted to £120,215.47. The turnover figure therefore provided by Mrs Bedrekar in the BBL application was false or knowingly inaccurate. • On 17 June 2020, a BBL of £50,000 was paid into Peterborough’s bank account. Based on the turnover shown by those bank statements, for the calendar year 2019, Peterborough was entitled to a maximum BBL of £30,054. • The terms of the BBL scheme stated that the BBL was to be used only for the economic benefit of the business, used wholly for business purposes and not personal purposes. • On 06 October 2020, the amount of £89,000 was transferred out of Peterborough’s current account to a connected company. • The sum transferred included a minimum of £24,524.35 of BBL loan monies. • Mrs Bedrekar has been both director and person with significant control of the connected company since it was incorporated on 29 June 2020. • To date Mrs Bedrekar has not provided any evidence that the transfer to the connected company, containing the minimum £24,524.35 of BBL monies, was made for the economic benefit of Peterborough. • Peterborough made repayments totalling £7,257.62 against the BBL, prior to entering into liquidation, that the digital bank was owed £43,733.38 as at that date.
