Government Grants - Top Up Grants For clarity

For clarity; the new one-off top up grant for those businesses in the retail, hospitality and leisure sector that are legally required to close, replace the fortnightly grants which were available before Christmas, they are not in addition.

The one-off payments will be granted on a per property basis as follows:

  • £4,000 for businesses with a rateable value of £15,000 or under

  • £6,000 for businesses with a rateable value between £15,000 and £51,000

  • £9,000 for businesses with a rateable value of over £51,000

These grants can be accessed via your local authority. Should you not qualify for the new top-up grants, then further discretionary funding is being made available, again via Local Authorities; so contact them directly.
