I also read that it is small business owners who are adapting best to the pandemic and trade challenges in 2020. It is small business owners who are adapting their websites to take online orders for the first time, or delivering their products to customers' homes in order to keep trading.

It is inspirational whenever we read these positive stories, putting your heart and soul into your business is so demanding and so it feels reassuring to know that people are finding a way through.

It is difficult to know what comes next and planning more than a few weeks ahead is not easy at the moment. Trying to adapt to the hokey-cokey of lockdowns and waiting for the injections to move from a positive story to a reality means that 2021 is difficult to predict.

But if we can keep going, manage cashflow as best as possible, keep looking for new possibilities wherever possible, let's hope we will all carry our businesses through in good shape.
