For those who have business premises, you may be eligible for the Small Business Grant Scheme.

This one-off grant of up to £10,000, is available to ratepayers of small businesses in receipt of the Small Business Bonus Scheme (SBBS) or Rural Relief.

Although it does state this on the forms, we do have to highlight that while this is NOT repayable, it will be included as ‘taxable’ earnings on your next Self Assessment, so you may have an additional tax liability depending on your other earnings in the period.

You can apply for the scheme through your local council.  We have added links below to councils who have the applications live on their website.
