Useful info re self-employed support available- stick with it, make notes🙂

Again thanks to Jenifer at Integrity Bookkeepers Ltd for sharing.

The Chancellor has announced a package to support self-employed, understandably difficult to do, and it won’t cover everyone. There’s still lots to unpick but here’s the main points taken from the FB Group Anti-viral Work for Freelancers and small businesses.

Morning Wonderful People! Today we should hopefully get an announcement from the Chancellor regarding support for self-employed. It’s a very difficult thing to work out which is why it’s taken so long. Here’s a current info graphic about the support available, let’s hope this gets better for Freelancers and sole traders🙂❤️🌟

Please sign this - there are over 5 million of us - we were important enough to be supported and encouraged by government after the financial crash, AND we reduce the unemployment figures, so we’re important enough for better support than “go get an ‘attractive’ loan” or “take out a credit card”.

Information from the ABI regarding insurance cover: even if government did enforce closure it wouldn’t be covered for the majority. Let’s hope there’s some sort of package being created to support us all. It’s worth going over your cash flow and getting in touch with your Bank/clients/landlords/council to discuss options - although I know they’re mostly inundated, keep trying. xx

Please sign this whether or not you’re self-employed. My NEA colleagues and I work with hundreds of people who work really hard to run businesses which are the backbone of the UK economy, the current situation will hit them hard as it will all of my other self-employed and small business owner friends and colleagues.
