Jack says it may take another grace period from his landlord to keep him afloat if a shutdown becomes a prolonged one. “I was closed for 21 weeks of the year and it was very tough. Luckily, my rent was frozen the first time when I was closed for 15 weeks but I actually felt so bad for my landlord for the second lockdown that I didn’t want to freeze my rent, but if this lockdown lasts long then I will hope something can be worked out. “I’m a relatively new business and this has held me back so much and another lockdown is really going to have me sweating. I had a staff member working with me but I had to let them go earlier in the year as I just couldn’t afford it”.
