If you mean the Coronavirus Job Protection Scheme I don't think you can. You can't furlough yourself because you own the company.

You can see if you are eligible for Universal Credit https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/benefits/universal-credit/
There are benefit calculators available here https://www.gov.uk/benefits-calculators where you can assess entitlement.

You're the director of your Ltd co and whilst you may take a salary via PAYE you are not strictly an employee. As I've mentioned in a number of posts now, you have no contract of employment, you can't be terminated as such and you can't be furloughed so the govt will probably not be paying your salary for you. You're going to do what the rest of us have been doing throughout our careers and live off your income when the times are tough.
