Covid 19 - Survey 

 

The Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) has been working with Government to highlight the significant difficulties faced by small firms during these hugely uncertain times.

 

The FSB has lobbied for the package of measures announced by Government to support small firms through the crisis. However, they recognise that many small firms continue to lack the necessary support they need.  The FSB aim is to represent the diverse nature and circumstances of small firms to Government and policy makers as they seek to navigate the crisis and look towards post-crisis recovery.

 

FSB have launched a Coronavirus survey, this is needed to get invaluable information from the business community and will continue to provide robust evidence to Government, highlighting the myriad problems faced by small firms and seeking solutions.  This survey will help to understand the impact that the coronavirus has had on business, thoughts on the Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan Scheme (CBILS) and business’s role in the community.

 

This survey is an opportunity to ensure the voice of local business is heard.

 

Topic: Getting your views on the Coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19)
