Torbay MP Adrian Sanders has been encouraging local businesses to seek help in the face of the deepening recession.
Business Link at www.businesslink.gov.uk or via 0845 600 9006 is the first port of call for free business advice.
The Working Capital Scheme, which provides loans to businesses, is also available, by calling 0845 459 9780.
For urgent and severe cases, MPs have arranged a hotline to the Director of Special Projects, David Smith, at the Business Department. Any businesses in urgent trouble can contact Adrian on 01803 200036.
Adrian commented:"Torbay is being hit hard by the recession. The empty shops in our town centres are a testament to the difficult situation businesses are facing. The Government is finally getting its act together after months of pressure to help small businesses and I would urge any business that needs advice or assistance to contact me.
