On emergency loans, @fsbsonali says we have heard of some banks who are not offering Bound Back loans or still need to get process up to speed to reflect gov guidance. We have emphasised how vital it is that small firms are able to access this emergency support #FSBOnlineSupport

We had the honour today to host, on behalf of @fsb_policy an important & timely discussion about issues affecting the black, Asian and ethnic minority businesses with our national #FSB chairman @MikeCherryFSB. Thanks everyone for a very positive, thought-provoking session

Fantastic opportunity to join Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) and support SMEs across England. Now more than ever small businesses need our help and I’m delighted to be recruiting for a Regional Policy Manager to join my team. fsb.org.uk/careers/employ…

The findings of our latest Small Business Index in today's @Telegraph. More than half of small firms told us revenues had dropped, with one in four saying they have cut jobs in the past three months. We are calling for more support to help those in need. telegraph.co.uk/business/2020/…

Chancellor @RishiSunak announces an extension of the 15% VAT cut for hospitality and tourism to March 2021. And firms who deferred their VAT will have the options of smaller, interest free payments over 11 months #WinterEconomyPlan

Exciting news!! FSB are stepping up to help #SmallBusiness take advantage of the Government’s landmark Kickstart Scheme. lnkd.in/dmDz4FX

@colin_borland You been sunbathing😀

For some reason, Day 1 of my “week off to get on with loads of overdue jobs in the house I couldn’t do while the kids were at home during lockdown” hasn’t been quite as productive as I had planned. (Although, please note I am not complaining!) ☀️☀️🍺

Do you know any small businesses located in railway arches or buildings? Find out if you can support them this week. Post a photo using #ArchDay2020 A #loveyourlocalarches campaign from @thearchcompany with @networkrail and @TfL and supported by @fsb_policy
