Businesses will continue to need added support even as Covid restrictions ease, says the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB).
Clare Elsby, its East Midlands policy representative, said lifting restrictions was welcomed but small business owners still needed help when it came to dealing with the ongoing consequences of the pandemic.
Ms Elsby, who is head of people and culture at Northampton accountants Elsby & Co, has urged the Government to stand by small businesses – particularly if they are hit by future outbreaks of the virus in their ranks.
