COVID19Extend cash grants to self employed sharing premises & pay rates via rent
Extend cash grants to self employed sharing premises & pay rates indirectly via rent as soon as possible. To realise that the current plan fails to support all small businesses, as not all small businesses pay business rates directly to the local authority. We still desperately require support.
As a small business/sole trader; a medical practice of 24 years, I am watching through the COVID-19 virus outbreak, my business that I founded being decimated. I cannot absorb this financial loss any further.
