"Will need to wait a while to get that. Thank goodness that I put a few pound a side that will keep me going until then."
The main thing at present is to look after your mental health.
I've spend a few nights over the last couple of years worrying about how to pay my suppliers but im not worrying now....we're all in the same boat...all you can do is conserve money and look after number 1...good luck with it |

Yip, I'm heavily commission based, and although not "self employed" as such, 80% of my basic wouldn't even touch the sides of monthly outgoings.. Hoping either my employer comes to the party or there's something in the pipeline to accommodate lots of folk in a, similar position. |

Self employed here and home til this is over. Luckily I've been flat out up to now so won't feel the pinch for a while. Tbh,I'm actually looking forward to spending the time at home with the kids. They're in secondary school and doing their classes online,which is fantastic...also means less time for them to be bored! I just hope it's over sooner rather than later though, for the whole countrys sake. |

"I'm an employer. I'm hoping to use this 70% of wages scheme to keep folks in jobs"
The problem with it is the qualifications to get the 70% payment
Your turnover has to be down 70 %
You mustn't be able to afford to pay the staff
Then you're technically insolvent so could be accused of trading while insolvent as far as I know |

Turnover has to be 25% down not 75%.. also being unable to pay doesn't necessarily mean you are insolvent. It would mean you are unable to maintain cashflow necessary to the business.. for example keeping back money needed to keep marketing going. |
