Financial support for the self-employed that don’t fall into the grant criteria

Rejected 18 signatures

What the petition asks

Financial support for people that are self-employed that have not fallen into the criteria for the self employed grants.
Many self-employed people have started up careers and business’s that have been shot by the pandemic with no help from the government as we do not fall into the self employed grants criteria. New businesses have failed because of no financial support. There’s a hole in the system and these people need help now more than ever.
