Getting back to business

Rarely before can businesses have needed sound, professional support as much as they have in 2020. To that end, Back to Business Essex was launched in June to provide help to businesses in the county as they bid to overcome the impact of Covid-19.

Delivered by Let’s Do Business Group’s (LDBG) expert team in Essex, Back to Business Essex provides up to 12 hours of support, fully funded by Essex County Council, covering everything from business planning and refining your marketing strategy to identifying sources of funding, building local supply chains and relocating premises.

Alongside this, the LDBG finance arm, Let’s Do Business Finance (LDBF), is an accredited delivery partner of the Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan Scheme (CBILS) with government-backed loans available up to £150,000. The CBILS loan application scheme has an end date of September 30, 2020. LDBF also continues to deliver flexible and affordable business loans from £3,000 to £100,000 and start-up loans from as little as £500 to £25,000.
