£20 million in new grants available to small businesses to boost recovery
25/08/20
The government has announced a £20m package of funding to help smaller businesses recover from the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Small and medium-sized businesses can access a small business grant of between £1,000 and £5,000 to pay for the expertise, equipment and technology they need to recover and rebuild following the coronavirus pandemic.
The grant can be spent on specialist professional advice such as accountancy, legal, HR or IT and digital.
It can also be used to buy minor equipment needed to adapt or adopt new technology in order to continue in business or diversify following the pandemic.
The money is available through the European Regional Development Fund and is being administered through the government’s 38 local Growth Hubs.
To apply for a grant, you will need to contact your local Growth Hub, and you can find a list of these hubs here.
The fund is being launched in September, but businesses interested in applying should register their interest now.
