Supporting businesses through Coronavirus uncertainty

UK businesses are facing unprecedented challenges as a result of Coronavirus. We’ve had an influx of customers and other small businesses getting in touch to ask if – and how – we’re able to help. 

We know that every business is taking different action, so flexible terms and short-term solutions are paramount at this time. Because of this, we are able to help in a number of ways on-site and can address multiple unique business situations. 

Here’s how we are trying to help on-site at this difficult time. For non-centre related support, you can read on for further business resources that may be of use. 

Splitting your team

Anyone wanting to split their workforce into smaller teams temporarily can try our office and studio spaces. We have flexible lets available to fit any smaller-sized groups on short notice.

Staying closer to home

For those having to commute long distances, we have spaces across the country. If your workers decide to reduce travel, they may want to work from a centre closer to home.

Working from home

Remote teams, if you need a clean and comfortable room for an occasional face-to-face, our centres have serviced meeting rooms. They’re available on short notice by the hour, half-day or day.

If any of these situations apply to your business, discover a local BizSpace centre that suits your needs today. When you find a centre, in the details you’ll find all you need to call or email any queries directly to the Centre Manager. They’ll be able to advise you on their spaces, how else BizSpace can help you at this time and answer any questions you have.

Beyond BizSpace, there are other official steps in place industry-wide to protect small businesses – here are a few useful resources.

For an updated direct line into the Government’s ongoing support, you can refer to their COVID-19: support for businesses page on .Gov.

As we approach the end of the tax year, if you find yourself concerned about paying your tax due to Coronavirus, you can call HMRC helpline for advice, guidance on payment plans and support: 0800 0159 559. 

We’ve provided an overview of the first announcement of the Government Budget 2020, much of which is allocated to cushion the effects COVID-19 could have on smaller businesses. Some of the new decisions may apply to you and your company, and you may be entitled to financial support from the Government.

We also strongly advise our customers to act on the free membership available with our partners over at Enterprise Nation, offering a network of assistance and guidance to small businesses. Existing BizSpace customers can join free for 12 months now.
