Business Support and Advice for SMEs during Covid-19

This is a difficult time for businesses particularly SMEs and we are ever aware of our customers’ needs to maintain some sort of business continuity.

Business support

At Newable we know that no one can do everything on their own. Many need external support to get access to finance or develop their business further. Newable has been providing business support and advice for over 30 years now and is proud to be continuing to do so during these times.

The Newable Advice team has responded to the Covid-19 pandemic by re-purposing  Advisers to focus on supporting SMEs to manage their way through these very challenging times. We have worked with DIT, Innovate UK, GLA Hub & Scope and JP Morgan Chase to ensure that our Advice team are providing their clients with the support that they urgently need. The purpose of our support is to help SMEs to survive the immediate crisis, then to stabilise the business and position it to grow as conditions and markets recover. Listed below are the various ways our Advice team can currently help.
