On emergency loans, @fsbsonali says we have heard of some banks who are not offering Bound Back loans or still need to get process up to speed to reflect gov guidance. We have emphasised how vital it is that small firms are able to access this emergency support #FSBOnlineSupport

Fantastic opportunity to join Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) and support SMEs across England. Now more than ever small businesses need our help and I’m delighted to be recruiting for a Regional Policy Manager to join my team. https://t.co/pNNkTVngYk

The findings of our latest Small Business Index in today's @Telegraph. More than half of small firms told us revenues had dropped, with one in four saying they have cut jobs in the past three months. We are calling for more support to help those in need. https://t.co/Jq530zP0v4

Chancellor @RishiSunak announces an extension of the 15% VAT cut for hospitality and tourism to March 2021.

And firms who deferred their VAT will have the options of smaller, interest free payments over 11 months #WinterEconomyPlan

[Karen Durcan @FSBkdurcan]

Exciting news!! FSB are stepping up to help #SmallBusiness take advantage of the Government’s landmark Kickstart Scheme.
