Local Restrictions Support Grant (LRSG)
Grants of up to £3,000 are now available to businesses where their premises are required to close by law under the national restrictions in force from 5 November 2020, and those premises are subject to business rates.
Additional Restrictions Grant (ARG)
We will be using additional funding provided by Government to set up an Additional Restrictions Grant fund. If your business does not qualify for the Local Restrictions Support Grant this grant may be able to provide some support.
Start-up grants
We can offer you a grant of £750 if you're returning to work after a period of unemployment and are starting a full time business.
Your new business must be your full-time occupation and you must apply before you start trading. The grant is payable once the business has begun trading.
