The Government has set up a discretionary fund to accommodate certain small businesses that previously did not meet the criteria of the business support grants scheme.
The discretionary fund will provide support to small businesses with ongoing fixed property-related costs that are able to demonstrate a significant drop in income as a result of the coronavirus pandemic restriction measures and is expected to prioritise businesses in shared spaces, regular market traders, small charity properties that would meet the criteria for Small Business Rates Relief, and Bed & Breakfasts that pay council tax rather than business rates.
We will contact businesses who are eligible. Further details will soon be available at www.southglos.gov.uk/businessinfo
