National League title sponsors Vanarama has launched the Covid-19 Small Business Support Team.

The initiative will provide information and guidance for clubs, sole traders, the self-employed and small limited companies on how to access the funding available from the UK Government during the Covid-19 pandemic.

The free to use service provided by Vanarama can be accessed via Covid-19 Small Business Support Team or by calling 0808 196 3900.

Up-to-date detailed information on all the support that the UK Government is offering as well frequently asked questions from mortgage holidays to life insurance queries can be found here.

The Vanarama Facebook page will provide a secure space for members to discuss issues and share their business stories.

“We are immensely proud to be involved in non-league football and watching the Vanarama National League grow year on year has been truly amazing. We don’t want to see any UK club collapse due to the Covid-19 pandemic,” said Andy Alderson, CEO and Founder of Vanarama.

“We understand that this is an incredibly stressful time for clubs across the country and finding the right government funding can be overwhelming.

“As a company we pride ourselves in providing industry leading customer service, so, have further invested in training our customer service team so that they can offer sound advice and guide clubs in these difficult times.”

The National League’s CEO, Michael Tattersall, said: “This is a fantastic scheme from Vanarama, who have further shown their amazing commitment to our league by offering support and advice to our clubs in a time of need.

We know this will give all of our clubs a boost to know they have an expert helping hand through such a difficult period”.
