Motor trade and construction among those applying
The motor trade and construction sectors are among the industries turning to a government-backed loan scheme for support throughout the coronavirus crisis.
That's according to Conister Bank, which is involved in the Isle of Man Disruption Loan Guarantee Scheme.
Manx businesses which otherwise wouldn't qualify for bank support can apply for a loan of up to £500,000, which will be guaranteed by government.
Head of sales Andy Bass says there's been interest from a range of businesses:
More than 500 Isle of Man Energy customers overcharged for VAT
Police working with schools to teach children about the dangers of social media
Drivers turning in Douglas Fire Station forecourt leads to 'near misses'
Isle of Man Government ‘closely monitoring’ impact of US trade tariffs
