Closed Provide all small companies not entitled to existing support a grant of £25,000

Closed on

Provide all small companies that have corporation tax filing history but have not been able to access the £10,000 rate grant or the 6-months furloughed employee support of £15,000 a cash grant of £25,000.

Just when small companies need urgent support during the current Covid19 pandemic & lockdown many have been excluded by ridiculous government set eligibility criteria from:

1. £10,000 cash rate grants
2. £15,000 (6 months x £2,500) furlough employee support grants
3. Covid19 business interruption loans scheme

So the government as a minimum must urgently offer small micro UK Limited companies that have corporation tax filing history but are not entitled to existing schemes with cash grants of £25,000.

    MPs to debate support for SMEs during the Covid-19 pandemic

    MPs will debate support for SMEs during the Covid-19 pandemic on Tuesday 10 November in Westminster Hall. The subject of the debate has been determined by the Backbench Business Committee.

    This will be a general debate. General debates allow MPs to debate important issues, however they do not end in a vote nor can they change the law.

    The debate will start at 2.30pm and last for 90 minutes.

    Watch here this Thursday: https://www.parliamentlive.tv/Event/Index/dcb5184d-e840-4550-a631-c5fc33aa901f
