The Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme is a temporary scheme open to all UK employers starting from 1 March 2020.

This scheme helps small and medium-sized businesses affected by coronavirus (COVID-19).

Businesses in England may be eligible for a payment of £10,000 under the Small Business Grant Fund (SBGF).

The government has introduced a business rates holiday for retail, hospitality and leisure businesses.

All businesses and self-employed people in financial distress, and with outstanding tax liabilities, may be eligible to receive support.

The Coronavirus Statutory Sick Pay Rebate Scheme will repay employers the current rate of SSP that they pay to current or former employees for periods of sickness starting on or after 13 March 2020.
