We all know how challenging and tough it’s been for businesses both small and large across the UK and elsewhere. Many businesses here in the UK have been heavily relying on help and support to see them through these unprecedented times.

There are a number of financial support such as grants and loans which have been made available to both small and large businesses across the UK. We’ve therefore put together a list of some of the financial help and support from the government. This is not a complete list and if we’ve left any type of financial support please do let us know so that we can include them on our list.
