Tell us how your business has been affected by the Covid-19 pandemic and lockdown

Calling all businesses across Greater Manchester - we want to hear from you.

The coronavirus pandemic has been the most turbulent test we have faced for generations - and now we want you to tell us exactly what it has meant for you and your business.

The virus outbreak and the lockdown that followed, almost overnight, transformed the way we do business here in Greater Manchester.

Offices across Manchester city centre and beyond, cafes, restaurants, shops and factories have been forced to close.

Business owners have had to furlough staff or even cut jobs to cope.

The Government has been forced to launch an unprecedented programme of support for businesses, worth hundreds of billions of pounds.

But other businesses have found new opportunities, from supporting the NHS with equipment supplies to switching to home delivery services.

It’s been a bewildering time for many of us - and now we want to take stock and try to understand the long-term impact it will have on the businesses community.

By taking part in our Great Big Business Survey you will help us analyse and understand the shape of the British economy and get a true picture of its health for the future.

Tell us what changes have you had to make to get your business through the crisis?

Do you think your business will survive the pandemic?

Has the Government done enough to help you, and businesses like yours, through the virus?

And what will your business look like once this is all over and the country adapts to a new kind of normal?

Our survey will only take a few minutes to fill in. And we’re running it on dozens of different news sites across our parent company, Reach plc - to get a true national picture of what’s happening to businesses, to entrepreneurs, to managers and to workers across the country.
