Give all small businesses affected by Coronavirus access to government grants.

Whist we appreciate the efforts the government has taken to compensate those affected by the Coronavirus, some are left without help. If you’re a small business owner who is paid a small salary and receives the rest of their income through dividends there is no help other than to take out a loan.

You may wish to sign these petitions calling for the same action:

Extend grants immediately to small businesses outside of SBRR: Extend grants immediately to small businesses outside of SBRR

Coronavirus Support Package for Directors / Shareholders of small Limited Co's: Coronavirus Support Package for Directors / Shareholders of small Limited Co's.
