Testimonials - Marcelle Batson-Warner, "I know I maybe not your target client at this time, but there are a lot of Private Service Companies PSC's out there like mine that are being impacted by what is going on at the moment. I appreciate you giving me your time on Friday and want to give you the following feedback that you can use for marketing purposes. As a PSC I am not one of Julia's typical prospective clients. Never the less Julia listened to my situation relating to business interruption caused by COVID-19 and offered me guidance based on the latest government updates for business support. I found this both reassuring and helpful. Thanks again. "

Bounce Back Loans scheme
The Chancellor, Rishi Sunak has today (27 April 2020) made a statement to the House of Commons on the government’s economic response to the Coronavirus outbreak.
The Chancellor launched the new Bounce Back Loans scheme. This scheme will help many small and micro businesses that appeared to have fallen through the cracks and were ineligible for most of the support measures that had previously been announced.
The new scheme will allow small businesses to borrow between £2,000 and £50,000 and access the cash, in most cases, within 24 hours of approval. The loans will have a 100% government guarantee and businesses can apply for a loan of up to 25% of their turnover. The government will also pay the interest on these loans for the first 12 months and no repayments will be due during this time.
The Chancellor said:
'Our smallest businesses are the backbone of our economy and play a vital role in their communities. This new rapid loan scheme will help ensure they get the finance they need quickly to help survive this crisis. This is in addition to business grants, tax deferrals, and the job retention scheme, which are already helping to support hundreds of thousands of small businesses.'

"Fantastic session with Julia at NatWest Business in BIrmingham 26th April all about the basics of cash flow. I really need to pin down those figures on production costs and get a SMART strategy in place for Amoreantos. Julia explained cash flow as a tank of water with liquid poured in and a tap at the bottom letting it out. Nice analogy and I couldn't help suggesting that it could have been fun to make it a wine box too." Abbi Head
