Businesses are being reminded to apply for business
rate relief before the scheme closes at the end of June.
Denbighshire County Council is urging businesses to
apply for the Welsh Government’s Business Rates Relief fund before June 30 when
applications close.
So far the council has paid out £27,550,000 in
grants to 2,338 businesses but a further 500 Denbighshire organisations,
including small charities within the retail, leisure and hospitality sectors,
may be eligible for the £10,000 grant.
The council is currently contacting all eligible
businesses to inform them of the support which will help traders through the
Covid-19 pandemic.
Cllr Hugh Evans OBE, Leader of the Council and Lead
Member for the Economy, said: “These grants are providing essential support for
Denbighshire businesses and with the Welsh Government closing applications on
June 30, it is essential businesses act now.
“Some businesses have been telling us they did not
think they were entitled to a grant. However, businesses who have received a
business rates bill with nothing to pay and are entitled to small business rate
relief are, in most cases, still eligible for a grant. The majority of businesses
yet to apply are in this category and our advice is for them to visit our
website and see if they fit the criteria.”
