my small business and covid-19

[KerryM123]

Hi,
going to get straight to the point, i make prom and kids dresses and sell them online, simple as that, i made a decent living off it for me and my family, but thanks to corona my orders stopped, money stopped coming in, so i tried to apply for the small business grants the government are doing, but because i dont have a permanent business premises i cant apply, and now i dont have anyway to get by, what do i do?

Jheez thats tough, i tried having a look for you and their isnt much out their, except for a go-fund me thats raising for businesses like you, u could try contacting them

though they themselves havent raised a penny so i dont really know, good luck though, u could ask friends and family?

Have you filed tax returns? If you've had one for 18/19 then you're automatically entitled to the grant from the government

If you're working and not making enough to register for tax or file then it's definitely trickier. Can you prove your income from your business for starters?

I work for myself and file returns. My business premises address is my home address. Isn't yours the same?

Apply for universal credit and see if you're entitled to any other benefit help.
