In a call to all public bodies at local, national and EU level across Europe to respond to the cash squeeze caused by the COVID-19 crisis, the European Small Business Alliance (ESBA) launched their campaign for a €65 billion boost to small business cash flow by encouraging all public payers to pay their bills within 7 days, rather than 30.
The ‘Pay in 7’ campaign was launched by the ESBA Board representing one million micro and small companies across the EU. They advocate this cash boost to business to be implemented by all public bodies, to accompany many Member State governments’ plans for increased lending already announced.
