Article

Almost 600,000 UK employers are at risk of business collapse in the spring without an urgent extension of government support, according to new IPPR analysis. Between them they account for one third of business turnover and employ some 9 million people, whose jobs could be lost if the cash crisis for firms of all sizes is not quickly addressed.
