Additional Restrictions Grants
There are now two further grant programmes available to support businesses affected by the latest lockdown which began on the 5th November. The Local Restrictions Support Grant is for those businesses ordered to close, and who have a Business Rates account. The Additional Restrictions Grant is for businesses forced to close but unable to access the Local Restrictions Support Grant because they don’t have a separate business rates account, or who haven’t been forced to close but are nonetheless severely impacted by the national government restrictions put in place to control the spread of Covid-19.
For more information on eligibility criteria and application forms for these grants, click here for Redditch businesses, click here for Bromsgrove businesses click here for Wyre Forest businesses.
