THE INSTITUTE FOR TURNAROUND FINANCIAL ROADMAP FOR SMES

Written by Riyah Davies on March 10, 2021

This roadmap shows the critical points ahead for SMEs, so businesses can seek early intervention in the form of help from an accredited turnaround professional. This roadmap has been updated to reflect the announcements made by the Chancellor in the 2021 UK Budget on 3 March 2021, which extended several coronavirus support measures and outlined plans for the UK’s post-pandemic recovery.

Details are still emerging, and information is correct as of 10 March 2021 but subject to change at short notice given further government announcements.

This roadmap was created in association with Playfair Partnerships Ltd. Please contact John Playfair or Simon Playfair of Playfair Partnerships Ltd if you require further assistance.
