Small businesses in England are able to benefit from a new tranche of government grants designed to help them recover from the impact of coronavirus through professional advice – including guidance from accountants.

The scheme will dispense grants of between £1,000 – £5,000 to small and medium-sized businesses from an overall fund of £20m to help them access professional services advice from accountants, HR experts and lawyers, as well as purchase new technology and equipment.
