Information for Businesses – Update as at 26th May 2020.

Update as at 26 May 2020.

Saffron Walden Business Improvement District Ltd is not able to offer advice on any of the issues listed below.  What we are trying to do is “sign post” information in an environment which is changing very quickly.  If you need specific advice you should contact your own professional advisors (e.g. accountant).

Given the introduction of the “Business Support Finder Tool” (see below), from now we will only post updated information.  As ever the Government outline the range of support information on https://www.businesssupport.gov.uk/coronavirus-business-support/

Specifics:

1. Timetable for retail to reopen

A very important statement, which will take a few days to “unpack” in particular as the statement says, “Businesses will only be able to open from these dates once they have completed a risk assessment….”.  We will be in touch with BID levy payers once we are able have some guidance to distribute.
