I would suggest the OP visits www.excludeduk.org as they’ve clearly been excluded from support.1

No problem, there is a thread about this subject here - https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6143905/excludeduk-3-million-taxpayers-denied-uk-government-covid-19-financial-support-wearenotgoingaway - but it gets a bit bogged down with those who received support, and are therefore 'included', claiming that this is a non-problem and trying to brush it all under the carpet.0

As you are well aware gary, from the other thread, there is a massive difference between receiving support and receiving meaningful support. Nice try with the deflection though.

The OP is just another sock puppet account for Excluded.
Pages of replies, some constructive asking for more info on the OP's circumstances so they can see if there is any possibility of support but the OP doesn't reply to any of them.
Then one post mentions Excluded and the OP responds within 4 minutes with a thank you, suggesting it is actually helpful?
Come off it. Its probably the least helpful thing suggested in this thread if the OP has real financial problems - all Excluded can offer is a circle-jerk of sadness and self pity.7 -

Thanks to those who tried to answer with empathy.
The rest of you can do one and get off my thread because you either cant read or enjoy kicking someone while they are down!
No one has kicked anyone, in fact all I can see is some useful advice, what you do with that advice is up to you. Have you really looked into if you could start working ?
If you cant then get yourself a job, many are around.4 -

I work in entertainment, and we are noticing that a lot of things right now aren't commercially viable. We've helped a lot of our clients (we are an agency with additional services attached) to go more digital with their work, as while it hasn't completely offset the cliff that income has fallen from, it has helped to reduce costs while generating income for all involved. We are still burning cash though, just to a much more limited extent than had we sat back and done nothing.
OP's original post and replies don't give enough information to give an accurate advice. There's likely a huge difference between what I (and my clients) do, compared to what they do, and therefore with different advice affecting specific different areas, it's not an easy answer.
Questions for the OP:
-What exactly are you doing? (without posting anything that could identify you)
-What can we advise you if you're not allowed to trade/it's not viable to trade in person, other that to attempt to go more digital or find alternative work in the meantime?💙💛 💔3
