To Rishi Sunak

Since March 2020, there have been no financial support packages available for company directors of small businesses without premises. Most of us earn a very standard income in a wage plus dividends and operate on the advised recommendation of £1 per share of our own business. We pay our taxes in full and submit honest accounts to companies house every year where we have to evidence every payment in and out of our business. We are entrepreneurial and we contribute well to the economy. And yet, we have been entitled to no financial support other than bounce back loans through this pandemic. These loans only serve to plunge our businesses into more debt, despite the loss of work we have encountered due to the pandemic. We cannot survive another lockdown where we are given an opportunity to simply 'borrow more'. This time we need a grant to help us through. Why are the government not supporting so many of us who have been innovative, entrepreneurial and have given so much to the UK over the years in terms of our work? We have to survive and pay bills too! We have other people to support. We are struggling financially and this is having a huge impact on our stress levels and mental and physical health.

Petition text

Please give company directors of small businesses in the UK, who do not have premises, a grant to help them and their businesses survive a second lockdown. Please consider extending when the first payment is due for our existing bounce back loans. Give us a chance to get our businesses back on their feet more quickly so as we can contribute back to the economy sooner once this pandemic is over, continue paying what we need to and have the health and stamina to do so. SOS. We have served you. Now we need your help.
