A comment on COVID-19 Small Business Recovery

The Small Business Commissioner (SBC), Philip King strives to tackle late payment and unfavourable payment practices in the private sector. He shares his views on the impact of coronavirus on business and its much-needed recovery.

There is no doubt that the COVID-19 pandemic is unmatched in modern times. It’s had a significant impact on the global economy as well as people’s health and livelihoods. Measures put in place by government to try and protect businesses had far-reaching effects but as we move on to the recovery stage, the pressures individual businesses face are going to be tougher than the lockdown period itself.
