Rebecca Simmons was a director of Tia-Bella Limited, carrying on business from premises in Queen Street, Wolverhampton.

The company, a specialist balloon and gift retailer, was incorporated in March 2019, but just over 2 years later, in July 2021, Tia-Bella went into voluntary liquidation from creditors. Tia-Bella’s insolvency, however, triggered further investigations by the Insolvency Service.

Investigators found that Rebecca Simmons applied for a rebound loan in May 2020, a government loan to support viable businesses during the pandemic, but received funds far beyond what Tia-Bella was entitled to.

Rebecca Simmons had exaggerated the company’s turnover by saying it was £180,000 and received a loan of £45,000.

But investigators found that, based on available records, Tia-Bella’s annual turnover was a maximum of £1,300. This meant Tia-Bella was not even eligible for the £2,000 minimum repayment loan.

Further inquiries revealed that within 2 months Rebecca Simmons forced the company into making payments worth just over £31,000 including a 10 £000, £10,000 for a company car and £10,000 in refunds of deposits incurred before the pandemic.

Rebecca Simmons was unable to provide supporting documents, which prevented investigators from confirming whether or not the £45,000 bounce-back loan benefited the business.

On August 4, 2022, the Secretary of State for Business, Energy, and Industrial Strategy accepted a 9-year disqualification recognizance from Rebecca Simmons after she did not dispute that she brought Tia- Bella Limited to apply for a government backed rebound loan. was not entitled to it.

As of August 25, Rebecca Simmons is prohibited from getting involved directly or indirectly in the promotion, creation or management of a business, without the authorization of the court.

Tia-Bella’s liquidator is considering repayment of the loan and recovery of the funds.

Lawrence Zussman, Deputy Chief of Bankruptcy Investigations, said:

Rebound loans have been issued by the government to help viable businesses during the pandemic. Not only did Rebecca Simmons grossly exaggerate the company’s turnover to get a loan she shouldn’t have gotten a penny of, but Rebecca Simmons continued to use the funds for activities she couldn’t even get. not justify as benefiting Tia-Bella.

Rebecca Simmons’ conduct was grossly below the standard required of a corporate director and was removed from the corporate arena for a considerable time. His 9-year ban should serve as a clear warning that if you abuse government support, we will use all our powers to hold you to account.
