Even if via a ltd company or umbrella surely you're an employee of "some company".

Eligible for the 80% grant?

Notice its max of £2500 a month though. NLUK will be ok.....

Luckily, signed new extension for 6 months today!!!! WFH for foreseeable future...

Nice one sir

I'd imagine the future of that debt book will become a political manifesto point in its own right and be on the agenda for years...

No, but why would you bother? It isn't free money. It's simply deferred and becomes due later.

Why bother? The chancellor didn't do this for the laugh, he's bothered to help businesses with cash flow.

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.

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...

Loans need to be paid back, with Interest. And I'm still in a contract and my warchest is looking good

Isn'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.

There are some grants available. Coronavirus (COVID-19) guidance for employees, employers and businesses - GOV.UK says £10,000 for small businesses that pay little or no business rates and are eligible for small business rate relief (SBBR) and will be contacted by their local authority. £25,000 for retail, hospitality and leisure businesses operating from smaller premises, with a rateable value between £15,000 and £51,000.

I don't think it's applicable for Limited companies that work from a home office or client site.

Anyone else thinking of using the government grant assistance if they are sent home ?

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.
