<p>The Government has provided unprecedented levels of support for workers and businesses
to protect, as much as possible, against the current economic emergency. Food and
drink wholesalers are eligible for a number of these support schemes, with the most
relevant likely to include:</p><p> </p><ul><li>The Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme
to help keep millions of people in employment;</li><li>£10,000 cash grants for all
business properties in receipt of Small Business Rates Relief and Rural Rates Relief;</li><li>The
Bounce Back Loan Scheme for small businesses to borrow between £2,000 and £50,000,
with no interest payments or fees for the first 12 months.</li></ul><p> </p><p>Food
and drink wholesalers have also benefited from the recent Eat Out to Help Out Scheme
which provided over 100 million half price meals during August and helped to protect
the livelihoods of the 1.8 million people working in the hospitality sector.</p><p>
