As I understand it the £10k Grant was paid to whom has a registered building to the Council rates, and eligible for SBRR.
The furlough pay was granted to all whom are part of P.A.Y.E as long as your employment started before Feb 2020 with your current employer, my Daughter left her employer in Feb and started with my Company in Mid March she wasn't entitled to claim furlough from me and neither would her ex employer help her hence we kept her working on full pay, that's what Dad's are for.
My friends wife has a 500sqft unit she hires to do women's training, they openly admit the class session fees hardly cover the cost of rent, becauce she was classed as a Gymnasium she received £25k to close her doors.
Personally all I have received is support to retain my staff through April, all but one have now returned to full time, the one that did not return got another job with a PLC Gas Company sighting his job would be safer with them as my Company might go bust, seems he knew more about my Company status than me.
The Government has given business free Business rates for the year that's a help of £22k for us, they also suggested they would not chase Corporate Tax and VAT,..... as we are in a favourable position we have paid both and have not needed to take advantage of the low cost loans available.
This will catch up with some in the long run and the ones with the most debt and back taxes will be under pressure.
As said"what is fair"
