27 Small Businesses You Should Support Right Now

With the situation as it stands, it is now more important than ever to support your favourite local businesses. We all know that coronavirus has caused all sorts of problems for them specifically – from supply chain issues, staffing concerns and of course the new lockdown rules. As more and more people stay indoors it becomes harder for these businesses to stay afloat and meet their costs.

There are thousands of small businesses doing incredible work in our communities, and I wish I could acknowledge them all. I have, however, pulled together a list of a few of my favourite independent businesses that I will be making sure to support at this time:
