Discretionary fund for small businesses now open to self-employed

Thanks to campaigning by the British Chambers of Commerce and the wider Chamber Network, the discretionary fund for small businesses is now open to the self-employed across England.

Matt Griffith from Business West and Claire Walker, Co-Executive Director of British Chambers of Commerce, met with Paul Scully MP, Minister for Small Business, Consumers and Labour Markets to discuss this issue last Wednesday.

In follow-up, they shared this letter and the guidance was updated at the weekend.
