All businesses that were registered for business rates before the 4th November 2020, and were legally required to close as a result of the National Lockdown from 5 January, will automatically receive a grant payment this week.
The one-off top-ups will be granted to closed businesses on a per property basis as follows:
- £4,000 for businesses with a rateable value of £15,000 or under
- £6,000 for businesses with a rateable value between £15,000 and £51,000
- £9,000 for businesses with a rateable value of over £51,000
Additional Discretionary Funding will also be made available to support other businesses that are not eligible for this grant but are affected by the restrictions.
