Rejected petition Financial support for those who become self employed during 2019-2020 tax year

Many self employed are entitled to grants and pay back loans all across the UK, but there is nothing for those who registered their business during the 2019-2020 tax year. Many people go self employed or set up their businesses every year and are affected by the eligibility criteria set in place!

More details

There has to be some help out there for those who are new businesses and have had or still don't have no work or income due to the pandemic we are in. Universal credit and such benefits disregarded. The self employed who started there businesses after April 2019 need help too!

Start to take into account 2019-2020 income for self employed new businesses! We have lives too and are being completely disregarded in the financial self employment scheme!
