I thought all the grants were tied to business rates? Unless you have dedicated office space I'm not sure you're eligible for anything anyway.

I have myself and my son and wife as employees of my limited company and expect us all to be sent home soon as rumours go for the companies we work for, we are expecting confirmation later this week.

Originally posted by PlanB View PostIsn't it a loan? All you will be doing is creating debt. Not sure if it's perhaps tied to business activity sector? Do IT consultants (I'm assuming) actually qualify? If you have cash in the company use that.
I don't think it's applicable for Limited companies that work from a home office or client site.Comment

the VAT thing, being deferred until the end of June. Can you claim it back if you have already made the payment? 7th of March was the last day, and next one is precisely end of June...Comment

Originally posted by jamesbrown View PostNo, but why would you bother? It isn't free money. It's simply deferred and becomes due later.
Also we all know what will happen, millions with not be able to repay it and the debt will be forgotten. Mark my words on that one. I'm quite tempted to apply for the maximum business loan on that basis tbh. If I'm wrong, just pay it back, if not... I wont be kicking myself for not filling my boots.Comment
