Cashflow concerns in the face of COVID-19

19 March 2020

Whether you need emergency funding now, or are worried about running out of a cash in the near future, there are options available that you might not be aware of yet. Although you may feel frustrated, or even apathetic, with hearing more about ‘coronavirus’, this isn’t going away and you may need more support than you realise.

Putting the impact on our health and wellbeing to one side, the harsh reality is many businesses are suffering or are going to suffer tremendously under the strain caused by the virus. Whether it’s international travel being suspended, staff in self-isolation, imports and exports of goods being restricted, international production being put on hold or entire countries on lock down, there are bound to be repercussions.

You may not think it will affect you directly but it may affect your customers or your suppliers which will have a knock-on effect.
