Currently the £10,000 Small business grant introduced to help SMEs during the Covid-19 outbreak is only available to businesses that have a property and either pay Business rates or are already exempt through Business Rate Relief. We would like it extended to all SMEs, even if they have no property.

Extending the reach of this grant will help many businesses that either aren’t big enough to have a property, or are in a sector that doesn’t warrant it’s use. There are still many other costs SMEs face that will be disrupted by the current measures and will help a great more number of businesses facing uncertain stability over the coming months.
