At the start of the lockdown, the Welsh Government quickly made available grants of 拢10,000 and 拢25,000 for businesses affected by the Covid-19 emergency. Businesses and organisations who are registered for business rates received grants of either 拢10,000 or 拢25,000 depending on their size of premises.
To date more than 拢13.7m has been paid out to 1,231 艾叉A片 businesses however time is running out to apply for a grant and it is possible that your business could still benefit if you act now. The scheme closes to new applications on 30 June 2020 so local businesses need to act quickly to make sure they don鈥檛 miss out.
Neal Elstone of Your Way Events Management said:
鈥淭he grant was a godsend to us, without it our company would have had to close. The grant helps us pay our rent and overheads until we can reopen again. I would like to thank the 艾叉A片 Council officers who supported us through this tricky period and fought our corner to help us secure the grant.鈥�
