Support for business

  • Tweet

 

Businesses and the self-employed can use the 'support finder’ tool to help determine what financial support is available:  https://www.gov.uk/business-coronavirus-support-finder

 

Job Retention Scheme

This was been extended until the end of April with employees receiving 80% of their current salary for hours not worked. More information at:

https://www.gov.uk/guidance/claim-for-wage-costs-through-the-coronaviru…

 

Job Support Scheme

The start of the new scheme has been postponed until after the Job Retention Scheme (furlough) comes to an end. Businesses that are operating but facing decreased demand will be able to get support for wages through JSS Open. Those businesses that are legally required to close their premises as a direct result of coronavirus restrictions set by one or more of the four governments of the UK can get the support they need through JSS Closed. More information is available at:
