Additional Restrictions Grant scheme opens on Monday, 5 July for Braintree businesses
Published on in Business Support, Coronavirus & Finance
Braintree District Council has been allocated £1.15 million to help businesses impacted by the recent extension in COVID-19 restrictions.
This discretionary scheme seeks to help businesses in certain sectors who have had their trade severely impacted by the extension of COVID-19 restrictions, regardless of whether they pay business rates or not.
Businesses must have relatively high on-going fixed costs and fall within the weddings, events and/or international travel sectors to be eligible.
Grants up to £5,000 will be awarded based on the size of the business.
Businesses will be able to check their eligibility on their website when the scheme opens on Monday, 5 July. The window for applications will be open for a week. Closes 5pm Monday 12th July!
As funds are limited, applications will be assessed and prioritised according to the type of business and the level of on-going fixed costs.
Once this allocation is spent, they will not be able to offer another round of grants unless additional funding is released by the Government.
