The end of furlough: What happens next?

Following the Government’s decision to extend the furlough scheme until the end of October, a number of key questions are now being asked in relation to the scheme and what businesses should do next.  This session will consider what the end of furlough might look like and how businesses should prepare, drawing on the expertise of business leaders and service providers based in Greater Manchester.

Key topics of discussion will include:

• Business resilience advice.
• Support that will still be available: sources of financial support and advice (banks, GC Business Growth Hub).
• When should I call it a day. What do I need to know?
• What do I need to know? (Signpost training opportunities, alternative employment, starting your own business)
• Increasing cashflow in an emergency.
