You'll need to wind up your business and submit final accounts. So you can't just claim and then when business picks up carry on again. They should have introduced some kind of interim claim where you could hibernate your business until crisis was over. Really shafted sole traders. Make you jump through hoops for five weeks, pay your accountant etc for 90 quid. Never signed on and never will. But some will have to. And whythefuck give everyone on universal credit an extra 20 a week? TossersCan we claim benefits. Because of virus. They are talking about helping people.
I’ve been at points in my life we’re I’ve had to live in my van and on jobs so to be honest rock bottom ain’t a place I’m scared of!
I believe we can claim statutory sick pay for what its worthYou'll need to wind up your business and submit final accounts. So you can't just claim and then when business picks up carry on again.

If your self employed (as most are on here) you need to factor any down period in to your planning, ie put a bit away for lean times, as somewhere down the line theyll be a period where you can’t work.
I have savings to get me through 6/12 months but that's beside the point. Its took me 47 years to build that and the employed get supported. Dont get me started on benefits types ...they will be largely unaffectedYup... I am going to sound like a c**t but I have been planning for this since the last recession. I have enough saved and passive income to see me through 12 months... probably longer as I am always hustling....
When will people learn that when money is flying in they need to not buy cars and holidays but save it up and invest for s**t like this...
I remember the days of some thing rising every morning............................Just thinking out loud.Lol and the sun rises each morning
Its a time of national emergency. Ive paid in and expect to get what the employed would get. If I was employed on 25 grand Id get 20 grand a year sitting at home. Because im self employed if I was earning 25 grand Id be sitting at home with less than 5 grand a year. Its unfair. Its about parity. But, yeah, I agree with the Ayn Rand thing.Yup...

My mate found out last night his company is folding next Friday, he works at a window making company. His mrs found out in the same day that the restaurant she manages is closing pronto. Both jobless in the same 24hrs. Mental!Im afraid it looks like this is too big for most of us,majority of self employed will not come back from this one.even if you have savings the demand for domestics will be flat for years,its no use glossing over this.the recesion after this one will be massive.the only hope i see is if they can get a test out and you can prove you have had it you can say to customers you are clear.if they had done what trump has done give everyone a $1000 a month worry about economy later self employed might ride this out. But 4/5 million self employed are now looking down the barrel of a gun this morning.statuary sick pay.if you have a partner and they are self employed too omg.
Its so tragic. God i hope im wrong.
Was that before he announced the 80 per cent grant? Maybe they'll just mothball it and keep them onMy mate found out last night his company is folding next Friday, he works at a window making company.

Yes. Bother in law works there. Also if you have savings over 16000 or your partner works you'll feet nowtDo you have to officially wind up the business to get ssp ??
They should stop hs2. Waste of money in times like these. Hard times for these times. We'll be lucky to get 40 quid a wall when this is over.
Nonsense,Why would you stop massive inferstructure projects... it’s the opposite isn’t crack on, it will employ 100s of thousands of construction workers, directly employed that’s 100s of thousands of national insurance and income tax every week plus thousands in the supply chain etc.You'll need to wind up your business and submit final accounts.

Not get much driving a van.People still need somewhere to live etc, still going to need massive amounts of new builds and the like, mortgages are cheap. it’s not like recession of the 90s when interest rates were 12% or 2008 went banks went bust, or maybe I’m a glass half full sort of fella and not doom mongering. If plastering doesn’t pay the bills, do something else. In 2009 I had to go van driving for a living when I lost plastering contracts on new builds.

The money is for people who can't work because the govt has told them to shut.Its a time of national emergency. Ive paid in and expect to get what the employed would get. If I was employed on 25 grand Id get 20 grand a year sitting at home. Because im self employed if I was earning 25 grand Id be sitting at home with less than 5 grand a year. Its unfair.

then u wake one morning to find its brokeI remember the days of some thing rising every morning............................Just thinking out loud.
