It could present difficulties but we are presuming the ISIF would be the only source of funding available to a company in that position. It is something that has to be taken into account in the future in the transition from fossil fuels and the movement away from their use. Depending on the size of the SME, they might come in under the exemptions that could be included in the Bill. It comes down to a decision relating to size and how one decides on the size, if it was turnover or other factors. That would have to be considered.
