Support if you're self-employed
Last updated 16 June 2020
Self-employment Income Support Scheme
The scheme currently allows you to claim a taxable grant worth 80% of your average monthly trading profits, paid out in a single instalment covering 3 months’ worth of profits, and capped at £7,500 in total.
If you’re eligible and your business has been adversely affected you must make your claim for the first grant on or before 13 July 2020.
This scheme is being extended. If you’re eligible for the second and final grant, and your business has been adversely affected on or after 14 July 2020 you’ll be able to make a claim in August 2020. You can claim for the second grant even if you did not make a claim for the first grant.
Other types of support
If you're struggling there are other types of support available:
- Council tax support
- Business Interruption Loans. These loans are available through banks
