Business Impact Survey

Latest Business Impact survey 

Thank you for participating in our most recent Business Impact survey, which closed on 20 September 2020. Your feedback is being evaluated and an update will be published on this page as soon as it is available.


Previous Business Impact Survey (April 2020)

Thank you to the 267 businesses who gave feedback in the Haringey Business Impact Survey. The purpose of the survey was to better understand the initial impact of the pandemic on businesses in the borough and inform our response to business support both in the immediate and longer term.

Key findings

  • The  local Haringey economy is highly exposed to the impact of COVID-19. Over three-quarters of respondents have now closed or temporarily ceased operations, with 99% stating that they would need financial support between March and June
  • Over three quarters of businesses (79%) expected to need financial support over the summer months to remain viable, either through additional grant payments, an extension of the Job Retention Scheme and SEIS, or alternative measures. A further 8% expressed serious concerns around their survival regardless of further financial support
  • While most businesses stated that they were aware of the package of Government support measures (91%), only around three quarters of businesses expected to benefit from at least one of the supports
  • Just under half of respondents believed they were eligible for a grant scheme, with clear gaps in support evident for shared workspace occupiers, suppliers of the retail, hospitality and leisure sectors, and businesses operating from premises above the defined rateable value parameters
  • Around a tenth of suitable businesses intended to access the Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan (CBIL) and the Self-Employed Income Support Scheme (SEIS), echoing wider feedback around the limitations of these schemes (e.g. for self-employed workers who have only recently started to earn an income)
  • There is a clear demand for other forms of support and guidance as we move into the post-lockdown period, including adapting to social distancing measures and moving to digital platforms

In response to this we are:

  • Lobbying to national Government on behalf of businesses who do not sufficiently benefit from existing Government measures
  • Delivering our Good Economy Recovery Plan and  High Streets Recovery Action Plan (PDF, 935KB) over the next 12-18 months
  • Providing the latest support and guidance to businesses via a dedicated support team and webpage, and working closely with our networks and partners to help their members
  • Agreeing deferrals of payments to the Council on a case-by-case basis
  • Publishing an online map of businesses who are offering delivery and helping those would like to offer this service
