Petition Limit any future eat out to help out schemes to small businesses
Exclude national and multinational companies from taking part in any future eat out to help out incentives and focus the scheme on small businesses.
More details
Some large companies used the previous eat out to help out scheme as a cash cow to line their own pockets at the expense of the taxpayer. Whilst it is clear businesses big and small have been hit hard by the pandemic, national and multinational companies have enormous marketing budgets and enormous amounts of capital and assets, as well as an established customer base. Focus any future scheme on smaller businesses who are in genuine need of the support.
