Rejected petition Help the self employed who are new businesses.

It is all well and good helping the self employed businesses with grants and schemes, but for those who didn't do a tax return 2018/19 because they wasn't self employed by then we have absolutely no help other than UC.

More details

Local small/new businesses are failing and struggling because the economy is now failing. If someone runs a luxury business for example Person Trainer. That person is suffering because their clients are being made redundant which in turn has a knock on affect to the Personal Trainer. I feel this needs to be addressed and help the smaller businesses that are trying to make a future.
