We have been again hitting the press in a huge drive to ask Chancellor Rishi Sunak for the following adjustments to the Small Business Grant Funding scheme for small businesses:

1. Recognise all Serviced Office and Co-working tenants as “small businesses with a Rateable Value (RV) of £15,000 and under”
2. Make available cash grants of £10,000 for these tenants immediately
3. Pay this grant before the 30^th April 2020

The amounts of money being missed out on are staggering, here are our figures for the regions:

Leeds – 3% of all small businesses in 108 serviced offices = £54m

Birmingham – 5% of all small businesses in 123 serviced offices = £61m

Bristol – 5% of all small businesses in 115 serviced offices = £57m
