Self Employed - Without Work, Didn't earn much Profit after Expenses, Have Savings

RobBarber

Hi, so I'm a self employed and my business is property maintenance, due to the pandemic, my work has dried up and so I must stay at home and do as I am told. I am not ill so I am unable to claim SSP, I have savings or more than £16k as I decided not to gamble my pension stake in shares, so the savings are in effect my pension, I'm 54 by the way. And as for my business, after business expenses, my business profits are very low and 80% of these profits is probably the same as SSP. It's the business expenses that I have to pay each month like van, premises, loans, phones etc . . . that I am now unable to afford but these don't seem to be covered by anything. Is there any help out there that I can claim which I might be missing???
