For the Small Business Grant Funding, businesses must complete the ‘Apply for grant support’ form found on our Business Rates Relief page. Malvern Hills District Council will then process the grant payment automatically if you are eligible for this grant*.
For the Business Rates Holiday for Retail, Hospitality and Leisure businesses, you will not have to pay business rates for the 2020-21 tax year. Businesses that received the retail discount in the 2019-20 tax year will be rebilled by their local authority as soon as possible.
* To receive either of these grants you will need to apply by filling in the simple form available on our website. We will be unable to make any payments until we receive funding from the Government which is expected in early April. We will process applications as fast as we possibly can.
Businesses that must close
Following the Prime Minister’s announcement, a list has been compiled of all businesses that must close and what exemptions exist.
