Small Business Grant and the Retail, Hospitality and Leisure Grant

Business Rates Holiday

For those businesses eligible for the Business Rates holiday, we will be updating accounts with the additional rate relief, and sending revised bills to ratepayers at the earliest opportunity. There is no need to contact the Business Rates team to request this.

Business Grant Funds

The Small Business Grant Fund and the Retail, Hospitality and Leisure Grant Fund are also available for eligible businesses. Eligibility for these grants are based on receipt of Business Rates relief and rateable values.

Small Business Grants Fund

• Small businesses that pay little or no business rates and are eligible for small business rate relief (SBRR) or rural rate relief will receive £10,000 cash grant.

Retail, Hospitality and Leisure Business Grants Fund

• If your business in the retail, hospitality or leisure sector, with a rateable value of under £15,000, you will receive a grant of £10,000.

• If your business in the retail, hospitality or leisure sector, with a rateable value between £15,001 and £51,000 will receive a grant of £25,000.

To ensure we can deliver these payments accurately and quickly, we need to collect a set of data in order to make the payment and complete effective post award assurance. To avoid unnecessary delays we would encourage you to provide the information using the online form below.

Please note that if you have more than one eligible business property, you will need to complete a separate form for each property.

We are writing to all businesses we believe are eligible for a grant.  If you have received a letter and you have already applied online, please disregard the letter.  Similarly, if you have not received notification from us and believe you meet the grant criteria, please complete the online form and we will assess your eligibility.
