If you think you are you missing out on vital financial support for your small business during the Covid-19 pandemic, then two types of grant are still available from Brighton & Hove City Council (BHCC):
• A grant of £10,000 for all businesses in receipt of small business rate relief or rural rate relief. Check to see if you are eligible
• A grant of £25,000 for retail, hospitality and leisure businesses with property with a rateable value of between £15,000 and £50,999. Check to see if you are eligible
The grant is paid to the person who was responsible for paying business rates for the property on March 11.
Since the government introduced its small business grants scheme as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, BHCC has paid out more than £67m to nearly 5,000 businesses.
BHCC is still paying out small business grants and urge any businesses that have not yet been in touch to contact them before the scheme closes on Friday, August 28.
If you think you may be eligible for one of these grants, or are not sure and need further clarification, visit the secure business grants portal or call 01273 291981.
These small business grants do not need to be paid back. They are available for all eligible businesses to help them keep afloat through the Covid-19 crisis.
