COVID-19 Grant Aid is Unfair if your Business is Run From Home

Lobby the UK Government to allow small businesses not paying rates or coming under the rateable value threshold) to get the same treatment as small businesses renting or in owned property.

Why is this important?

There must be thousands of small businesses who have no need for premises and who run their businesses from home. They do not appear on the radar for either of the grants available to companies with premises. Small businesses of ALL SIZES contribute to employment and pay taxes in the same manner as companies with premises.
