A grant scheme available to businesses impacted by coronavirus restrictions has been extended.
Following the
First Minister’s announcement on January 29, extensions are available to the
Restrictions Business Rates Grant and Restrictions Discretionary Grant schemes
to support businesses during the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic.
There are two
grant schemes available in the county, which are being administered by
Denbighshire County Council, which have specific guidance and qualification
criteria, with businesses only able to apply for one of the grants.
The
Restrictions Business Rates Grant is open to businesses whose property has been
in the rating list on or before September 1, 2020 and the business was in
occupation and trading on November 30, 2020.
Those who have
previously been paid through this scheme will have their accounts credited, by
either £3000 or £5000 depending on the size of the business, by no later than
Friday, February 19.
The scheme is
also open to businesses who have not previously applied, but they will need to
submit an application and payment for new applications can’t be guaranteed by
February 19.
The
Restrictions Discretionary Grant of £2,000 is applicable to business that do
not have a business rates liability, who have been forced to close or will be
materially affected by the restrictions, with more than 40 per cent reduction
in turnover.
There will not
be any automatic payments for the discretionary grant and there are several
qualification criteria to be met, as set out by Welsh Government.
Businesses can
only apply once for the grant, which is intended to support them through
February and March.
