Raise the small business covid-19 grant to £25,000 to help the small business.
In this un-president time the small business are in need of governments support. The small business are suffering the most and need immidate help/grants. We are asking to raise the small business covid-19 grant from £10,000 to £25,000 to help the small business.
With deep regret we would like to say no doubt coronavirus (COVID-19) is going to have a catastrophic effect on every individual, the industry and the economy. We understand the government is doing everything to tackle the current situation. Goverment announcement to abolish business rates, the availability of Business Interruption Loans and HMRC delay payment method to help businesses is very welcoming but sadly it will not be enough for many to survive.
