Grant funding for businesses
The Government is using local councils to pay grants to businesses in line with schemes they have set up.
Financial support for the period 5 November to 1 December 2020 (during the national lockdown)
Grants are available for businesses that have been ordered to close as part of the national restrictions. Find out more about the financial support available during the national lockdown (5 November to 2 December 2020).
