New business grants ranging from £2,000 to £20,000 are available to support large, small and micro businesses from Broadland and South Norfolk District Councils through the second phase of their discretionary business grant scheme.
Applications are invited from businesses of any size, whether home-based or based in business premises, business rated or not rated, self-employed or employing staff.
The councils are particularly keen to hear from businesses that have so far been unable to receive any Covid-19 financial support.
To qualify for the Additional Restrictions Grant, businesses must have experienced a loss of income (turnover) of at least 20% or £40,000 and fall into one of the following categories:
- a rated business that did not qualify for Local Restrictions Support Grant payments during national lockdowns or local restrictions;
- a business that has so far been unable to receive any Covid-19 financial support, including businesses with premises that are not business-rated or without its own business rating;
- a business that employs 10 or more full-time equivalent employees and wishes to request a top-up to a previous Local Restrictions Support Grant award.
Any business that needs support is encouraged to get in touch to find out what funding they may be eligible for.
