Dear Client
We know that now is a very difficult time for everybody, as we deal with the evolving situation that is the coronavirus outbreak.
While everybody’s first priority is the preservation of life, we know that as a business owner you will naturally be anxious as the UK economy experiences significant turbulence.
We are here to help you at this time.
We have formed a dedicated coronavirus support team to monitor government assistance as this situation develops and assist clients with advice and support on this topic.

In addition to providing advice and support, we are actively helping clients to access the range of support measures implemented by the government.
We are also gearing up to support clients with the range of business challenges that we expect the economic situation to create.
Please remember that your accountant is available to discuss these challenges with you and provide specific advice tailored to your business. Simply contact them to ask for help.
You will find a range of information about coronavirus related support available on this portal and we will be updating this on a regular basis as new information is released.
We encourage all clients to make use of this section and if you require ANY assistance, please contact us… we are here to help.
Finally, we strongly encourage all clients to strictly follow government guidance at this time.
Please stay safe,
Everyone at the Switch Accountants Team
