Hi there. Government has announced her various elements of grants and loans for small businesses. It's accelerated statuary, sick pay. But all of these announcements have not been given any paperwork, any methodology. And so we're still in the dark as to how you as a business owner or as an employee or as a, you know, in one of your team members, how we can go about making these claims.
But at least we know they are coming. And so if your business is in need, please don't put any of your own money in. If you can possibly help it, let's use the government funds. It's going to be on low interest rate. They say it's preferable interest rates. We don't know what that is, but let's keep our fingers crossed that we can all get through this.
And we're here to support you. So, as you know, we're a virtual firm. We've been working virtually for a few years now. So if you want to know how you can take your business from working physically to working online, subject to what you do, of course, then a, then speak to us. I'm thinking of creating a course if you're interested on how to take a business from being face to face, a physical oriented to working online.
Because that's something we did very successfully some like seven, eight years ago now. And this is running really smoothly now, which means not only that, our team are spread out so we don't infect each other, but also it means that we are used to working online. So we don't need to infect our clients by having them come into meetings.
We can have meetings online like we always do. Take care of. This is Gordon D’Silva wishing you well and hope you and your families stay healthy. And we get through this together. I'm here to support you. Take care. All the best one. All the whole firm is here to support you. Take care. Bye bye.
