Coronavirus Resource Centre
FREE Advice helpline: 0208 663 4127
Businesses across the region, and across industries, are facing major challenges and are struggling to make plans for an uncertain future. The outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic represents one of the most significant global public health crises in the last 100 years. Beyond turmoil and panic in global markets, small and medium sized businesses are feeling the immediate effects as events are cancelled and purchases stop. These firms, often owner managed, are also less likely to have the systems, processes and advisors in place to help them ride out the impending storm.
We have set up a dedicated support line and advice centre offering free professional advice for local businesses in immediate need.
Our resource centre will be updated regularly and covers topics including:
- Keeping your workforce effective as they work from home
- Managing staff absences and vulnerable employees
- Advice on managing employee pay and compensation
- How to comply with legislation designed to safeguard staff and customers
- Advice on commercial contract negotiations and force majeure provisions
- Adopting and revising business continuity plans, and
- Managing cashflow and credit control
- Updating your Will
Our dedicated coronavirus advice line will be manned from 8.30am until 6pm Monday to Friday on 0208 663 4127 and is available to all business regardless of whether you are an existing client or not.
