The self employed desperately need further financial support in this new lockdown. This is desperately needed for those who have fallen through the gaps due to application criteria. In order to protect the economy and enable us to fund our businesses we ask that further financial assistance is made available immediately. Inclusive to those who haven't had any previous financial assistance in any of the Government schemes. We ask that the 4th SEISS criteria is changed to make it accessible to all who are currently self employed and we ask that the details of this funding is made available before the March budget. We ask that an emergency fund is made available to include those who do not have business premises and for those who have not recieved previous financial help. We have been given inadequate support and with many of us unable to work now due to further lockdown restrictions, we ask for urgent financial help to enable us to survive the coming year. We are crippled financially and we have not been treated on the same level as furloughed workers. We demand new measures to support us to survive this new lockdown.
Petition text
Immediate financial support for all Self Employed workers in the U.K. Schemes to include individuals who have not had any entitlement previously. New funding assistance to prevent the breakdown of businesses over the coming year. Emergency grants for individuals who do not operate from business premises and for those who have previously been disqualified from any help.
Urgent Further Loans and increased grants made available to all self employed in the UK.
