We'll definitely get £10k and the local authority should contact us about it too. However, al financial proposals put forward by Boris recently still need European approval since we're still in the EU until December
Hope this 80% funded layoff works. because of my situation my Mrs employers have made her a furlough worker designated as critical for the business and once things return to normal she will be back. great that they have understood our situation, could afford to lose the cash, but it makes sure she has a job to go back to.
The £10k bit is easy to understand mate; if you get Small Businesses Rates Relief, you get the £10k. Gets a bit muddier thereafter though
Yes, we got a little shop, but obviously closed now. Got saving and everyone has been very understanding, but any money would mean we dont start back up with a huge bag of debt.
In theory it is mate, here’s the detail. https://assets.publishing.service.g...usiness-grant-fund-and-retail-guidance-v2.pdf
Cheers tobes, I've read through it a few times and I just cant get my head around it being so simple, I know for some it wont be anywhere near enough, but for us, it could see us through with only minor bruising.
Good luck mate and I’m pleased to here that it’ll see you just about right. We should just about ride it through as well, albeit our cashflow forecasts see us likely exiting the crisis with an OD that is truly terrifying. But hey ho, it is what it is.
Hoping one of the mods can pm, i don't know many of the details but i don't think there can be much worse than what they were going through puts everything into perspective really. Hope they are all okay Its strange, don’t actually know any of you guys but it is possible to worry about you all I have got loads of my team at work who are not likely to make it through this financially - its a really big boat and there are a lot of us in it at the minute. I am sure we will all get through it but even listening to Tobes who is going to accrue loads of debt, you have to wonder at what cost. Anyway take care all
Thank you for the concern mate, I'm fine, stressed to the max but coping and my granddaughter's heart operation went well and she is now home. One day at a time..... (Not sure if you conflated me and garlic btw whose daughter has a heart condition that requires medication making her vulnerable to this virus.) Hope you and yours are doing as well as you possibly can.
