Business owner says many companies don't have reserves
The Island's economy was struggling before coronavirus started to impact local businesses.
That's the view of local entrepreneur Claire Christian, who is part of an online forum offering support and advice to Manx firms.
More than 2,000 applications for government support have been made by local businesses.
Ms Christian says the challenges facing those who run Manx companies aren't new:
