You will be aware that our Government has placed the country at Level 4 as part of the response to COVID-19 . In response to this, Strong and Co staff is working remotely from Tuesday, 24th March.

Working remotely will not affect our work - we will be available via phone and emails (all of our contact details are at the bottom of this message), however, there could be delays from Inland Revenue and other third parties we deal with on a day-to-day basis. Also, there will be no face-to-face meetings at our offices. We will be holding meetings via Skype or Zoom, when required.

As we are also approaching financial year-end, you may expect some delays. But rest assured, we are working for you and with you to help & assist you during these tough times.

Government's COVID-19 response package now includes all organisations:
1) Wage subsidies - these will support your business if you are impacted by COVID-19 and face laying off staff or have to reduce their hours because of COVID-19.  If you are an employer, contractor, sole trader or
self-employed you may qualify for this.

2) All rent increases are now frozen to ease the pressure of restrictions.

3) Cash flow issues - please contact your bank and they will be able to assist you in lending, mortgage support etc.

If you and your business is/will be getting affected by COVID-19 (mostly all businesses will be affected by this), please contact us at the earliest. Also, please do not hesitate to contact us for more details re any of the above matters. We would file the application for you at cost.

Please stay safe; take this self-isolation a way to slow down and spend some good time with the family (maybe time to be creative to invent some new games and pick up some hobbies we all are putting aside due to time constraints). 

Kind Regards from all of us at Strong and Co.
