Conduct: Harvey Steven Jacobs (“Mr Jacobs”) caused HSJ&Co Ltd (“HSJ”) to breach the terms & conditions of the Bounce Back Loan (“BBL”) scheme by applying for a BBL of £38,000 and a top up BBL of £2,000 to which it was not entitled. Consequently, HSJ was not entitled to obtain a BBL at all. In addition, or in the alternative, Mr Jacobs caused HSJ to apply for a BBL totalling £40,000 by using overestimated annual turnover for HSJ in the BBL application. • 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 1 January 2019 it is their estimated turnover. • HSJ was incorporated on 27 May 2020. • On 25 June 2020, an application was made by Mr Jacobs for a Bounce Back Loan of £38,000 on behalf of HSJ. • The BBL funds of £38,000 were paid into HSJ’s bank account on 26 June 2020. • On 10 November 2020, Mr Jacobs made an application for a top-up of the BBL totalling £2,000. • On 11 November 2020, HSJ received £2,000 in respect a top-up of the BBL. • The loan application asked HSJ to declare, amongst other things, that it was carrying on its business on 01 March 2020 and that it was engaged in trading or commercial activity in the UK as at the date of the BBL application, and the business has been adversely impacted COVID-19. • The BBL application asked HSJ to provide details of its turnover in calendar year 2019 or if the business was established after 1 January 2019 to provide its estimated annual turnover. Mr Jacobs declared on the application form a turnover of £160,000. • The prepared accounts for HSJ for the period 27 May 2020 to 31 May 2021 show income of £54,095. • HSJ opened four bank accounts, the first of which was opened on 18 June 2020. • At liquidation, HSJ had liabilities totalling £110,361 of which at least £36,598 is in respect of the BBL.
