The government has launched a new phase of the Business Support campaign to help businesses across the UK meet the unprecedented challenge the country is facing in dealing with Coronavirus (Covid-19).
The campaign aims to help businesses and their employees with a package of measures through this period of unprecedented disruption.
A dedicated page on the website directs firms to the support available to them to help their businesses and their employees. It also explains how the schemes work, who is eligible and when and how to apply.
It covers the Business Interruption Loan Scheme, Business Rates holiday for retail, hospitality and leisure, cash grants, Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme, Small Business Grant Funding and SSP Rebate.
It also has details of the COVID-19 Corporate Financing Facility which allows the Bank of England to buy short-term debt from larger companies.
