National business support grants from 5 November 2020
The government has put in place a grant scheme for businesses that have been forced to close due to the national restrictions from 5 November 2020.
Grants are based on the rateable value of the property and will be paid per 28-day qualifying restriction period.
- Businesses with a rateable value of £15,000 or under can get a grant payment of £1,334.
- Businesses with a rateable value between £15,001 and £50,999 can get a grant payment of £2,000.
- Businesses with a rateable value of £51,000 and over can get a grant payment of £3,000.
To be eligible for this grant, your business property must fall under one of the categories on the government’s list of businesses forced to close. Please note that if the majority of your business has been forced to close but you are operating a takeaway or click and collect service, you may still be eligible for the grant.
A form is not yet available for you to provide us with details for this grant. We are working with our suppliers to develop one and we expect this to be available later this month. Please check this page for updates.
