financial help for the self employed with less than 3 years accounts to show.

Rejected 18 signatures

What the petition asks

For all self employed people who have less than 3 years worth of accounts there is no help out there for us. Most of us are unable to work due to facilities being closed amoungst other factors and its becoming impossible for people to survive this financially.

The pandemic has effected my business personally allowing me to only make 10-20% of what i would usually be making on a monthly basis.
This is just my case. So many other self employed people are generating 0 income.
None of us knew this was coming when we set up our businesses, and yet we are written off if we have less than three years worth of accounts.
Surely there is something that can be done to help the self employed who don't qualify. How is this fair that we are dismissed.
