Provide a business grant to home based small businesses and limited companies.
Introduce a business grant for small businesses and limited companies that use a domestic property as their business headquarters similar to the £10,000 grants for small businesses in receipt of the Small Business Bonus Scheme or Rural Relief.
The purpose of these one off grants is to protect jobs, prevent business closure and promote economic recovery. This gives no support for the thousands of businesses who operate from their household which unfortunately without any support will not be able to protect jobs, prevent closure or economically recover. The only support being made available is to defer taxes, this will not support small business, this will merely delay what could be the demise of a previously successful business.
