    We have an exciting new SME specific partnership with Money Advice Trust!

    Their Business Debt Line arm targets specialist support to small businesses and sole traders that are struggling financially. The past couple of years have been especially hard for our small businesses and sole traders we supply. Some of them aren't sure where they can turn for help with their finances, which may help their current situation.

    SO from now on we're able to forward customers to Business Debt Line for some support. The agents at Business Debt line are trained in dealing with small businesses and sole traders in debt. Sometimes completing income and expenditure forms or forwarding them to specific funds, grants or appropriate loans they can take out.

    Just acknowledging this thread in order to remove it from the 'Questions to Answer' section and let some more unanswered questions through.
    I'm an Eon Next dual fuel customer with no particular expertise but have some time on my hands that I am using to try and help out a bit.
