WANTED: Government Support for Retail Owners
Posted on in Business News , Cycles News , Political News
The ACT has identified that the great majority of IBD owners wil
l not be supported by the Government's current support schemes, where they have been enforced to close. This shortfall already applies to many of our Independent Retail Confederation (IRC) colleagues, from hairdressers to booksellers; all micro retailer, limited company directors and shareholders.
The ACT has initiated a campaign through the IRC and its 100,000+ strong retail network to support retail owners with a scheme comparable to the Job Retention Scheme for our employees.
The proposal highlights the dependency of the speciality retail business sector upon the ownership; the sacrifices owners make to keep the retail sector running and their personal reliance upon generating profits to provide the dividends they require to fund their businesses, pay their staff and live!
Through the Independent Retailers Confederation, the ACT are urging Government to implement a financial support programme for our members NOW!
