The Government have provided funding to help support some of the businesses and charities that did not qualify under the Small Business Grant Fund and the Retail, Hospitality and Leisure Grant Fund.
Government have requested that Local Authorities prioritise certain types of businesses and charities from this fund, and have set out guidance under which there are some criteria that a local scheme must comply with. However, local councils are also able to support businesses that are important to the local economy and are able to set their own criteria for these. Subject to the criteria your business may be eligible for support.
This scheme cannot help all businesses who are likely to seek support and Local Authorities are inviting applications for the local discretionary grant with a fixed time period for applications.
Both South Norfolk and Broadland District Councils have now begun taking applications for the fund. You can find out more details for each here:
