<p>The grant is only available to those whose trading profit makes up 50% of their
total income or more, because this scheme aims to provide financial support to those
who rely on self-employment as their main source of income. Many individuals earn
small amounts of income from self-employment in addition to income from employment
and other sources.</p><p>These individuals may benefit from other policies such as
the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme. Full guidance can be found at: <a href="http://www.gov.uk/guidance/claim-for-wage-costs-through-the-coronavirus-job-retention-scheme"

payments. More information about the full range of business support measures is available
