What is it?
The government will provide additional funding for local authorities to support small businesses that already pay little or no business rates because of small business rate relief (SBBR). This will provide a one-off grant of £10,000 (increased from the £3,000 announced at budget) to businesses currently eligible for SBRR or rural rate relief, to help meet their ongoing business costs.
Eligibility: You are eligible if your business is eligible for SBRR (rateable value of less that £15,000) or rural rate relief.
