"During those first few weeks of lockdown many businesses were feeling pretty overwhelmed," says Heather Sumpter, joint owner of The Admin Angels. "Our clients needed to quickly access the Government wage subsidy as the lockdown was having a big impact on cash flow. Initially, there wasn't a lot of guidance available on eligibility requirements. We spent many hours working through the latest information so we could give the best advice possible. It was pretty difficult as things were changing on a daily basis."
