During the COVID-19 pandemic, numerous businesses across various industries were overlooked and received no financial support due to the unique nature of their operations. Our company recognized the injustice and took proactive measures to seek relief on behalf of these neglected businesses. By applying for a CARF (COVID-19 Assistance and Relief Fund) directional award, we successfully obtained over £500,000 in many cases for our clients. The lack of publicity surrounding this relief meant that most of our clients were unaware of their entitlement until our intervention.
Lack of Government Support: Many businesses, due to their unique nature or classification, were excluded from the financial support programs offered by the government during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Financial Hardship: The absence of financial assistance placed a significant strain on the neglected businesses, making it difficult for them to sustain their operations, pay employees, and cover essential expenses.
Limited Awareness: Due to the lack of publicity surrounding alternative relief options, the affected businesses were unaware of any potential assistance they might be entitled to.
CARF Directional Award Application: Our company recognised the dire situation faced by these neglected businesses and took immediate action to seek relief on their behalf. We identified the CARF directional award as a potential avenue for financial assistance. This award was designed to support businesses that fell through the cracks of existing relief programs. We carefully evaluated the eligibility criteria and prepared the necessary documentation to demonstrate the impact of the pandemic on our clients’ operations and financial standing.
Our proactive approach and successful application for the CARF directional award resulted in significant financial relief for thousands of neglected businesses. The relief obtained exceeded £500,000 in many cases, providing a lifeline for these struggling enterprises.
