You might need it the following month when you have to quarantine for two weeks after your weeks holiday abroad😜

I’m still unsure wether to claim the second grant. 😁

I’m about £600 down in lost income with contracts on pause etc, but over all I’m up and have replaced it with more work.

I’m holding off in case I have to isolate too. The Covid numbers are going a bit crazy In my area.

Read a really good article by the money saving expert team, Martin says  ‘even if your profits are up, if you would have earned more without covid, then you can legitimately claim.’

I haven’t claimed yet, but think I may well do depending on how the next two weeks go.

Will be interesting to see who has made the criteria of adversely affected when it comes to crunch time.

So profits are higher than last year , How the hell can someone know if their profits would have been higher if there was no coronavirus   ???

I think there’s a lot of people trying it on

Not at all mate, for example:

My profits are similar to last year, however I had a large softwash job contract cancelled in April for a big housing association. This would have bumped my profit up significantly. As it is, I’ve lost out purely due to Covid. Therefore I can legitimately claim as I’ve lost that extra profit.

There are many instances like this.

At the end of the day, the reason people find this grant help so controversial, is because it’s a blanket payment. You may have lost £3000 of work, but get a £7000 grant. That’s not your problem, that’s up to the government. They chose to give a blanket amount that may very well mean you are better off.

I have a number of large pressure washing jobs also cancelled because of Covid, with emails confirming this.

Get it claimed.

Exactly how much more would that have been if you hadn't had to bail on your price increases?  :-\

It’s a very individual case, I genuinely lost work, so can claim with a clear conscience.

It really is a case of knowing if you’ve lost any work or not, as apposed to ‘my profit is the same’.

My profits are good, but would have been even better had it not been for the lockdown and pandemic.

It’s also not fair that the people who haven’t claimed are going to be helping paying it back in higher Tax increases,swings in roundabouts the increase in furlough is down to keeping unemployment figures down.

We have friends who own a swingers club and they are still shut. They’re the ones who should be claiming

I think its utterly ridiculous there are people who 'rent' subsidised housing when they could easily afford to pay the market rate.  8)

It’s not ridiculous Daz, if the government are willingly offering you a grant for any business loss, then take it.

If you weren’t affected, that’s fine mate.

You keep forgetting over and over again, that some of us were genuinely affected. I was over £1000 down for three months in April/June/July.

So it would utterly ridiculous not to take a grant that’s been out there to cover that loss.

It’s not about profit, it’s about loss of regular jobs/contracts.

You have to remember a lot of us are supporting a family, a mortgage and much more. So a loss of £1000 is a lot. A heck of a lot. Despite the fact my profits are still good, they would have been a lot lot better without this pandemic.
