Identifying if you were mis-sold
Tailored Business Loans may look simple but they are actually quite complex products whereby a commercial loan contains an embedded or hidden hedging product. The table below shows how some common Tailored Business Loans are structured:
In order to identify if you have been affected by the mis-selling of a Tailored Business Loan, here are some key things to look for and questions to ask yourself:
• Did Yorkshire or Clydesdale Bank properly explain the features, benefits and risks of the Tailored Business Loan before it was sold?
• Did Yorkshire or Clydesdale Bank properly explain and disclose any potential break costs or termination costs of the Tailored Business Loan before it was sold?
• Did Yorkshire or Clydesdale Bank properly explain the features, benefits and risks of other alternative loans or hedging products?
• Did Yorkshire or Clydesdale Bank provide you with advice relating to the Tailored Business Loan?
If you find yourself answering “No” to many of these questions, (and “Yes” to the last one)then it may be that you have a valid claim for a mis-sold Tailored Business Loan.

Stand Alone Interest Rate Hedging Products
Rather than combining a commercial loan and a hedging product, an alternative arrangement to a Tailored Business Loan is to purchase a Stand Alone Hedging Product which is a separate agreement to a commercial loan.
Stand Alone Hedging Products may also have been mis-sold, so it may be that you will have a claim if you hold one of these products as well.
Don’t forget about Consequential Loss
If you manage to secure compensation for a mis-sold Tailored Business Loan, then it may be that, in addition, you also have suffered Consequential Loss.
Consequential Losses arise from additional charges and fees that you may have been charged by your Bank as a result of entering into the Tailored Business Loan. Consequential Loss will also cover other claims relating to loss of business opportunity.
