self-employed people to be given the option of a loan like the big companies

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Big companies are are now allowed to take out a loan to keep the company and the salaries of the people in the company's afloat. The self employed people that actually work on a building site should be given the same option.

The government seem to be keeping the big guys going and forgetting about the little man that is actually getting there hands dirty to do the job.
