Restart Grants

Applications for the Restart Grants are now live.

These grants are available for non-essential retail businesses, hospitality, accommodation, leisure, personal care and gym businesses.

The primary principle of the Restart Grant scheme is to support businesses that offer in-person services, where the main service and activity takes place in a fixed rate-paying premises.

Applicants must be business rated. This means that you receive a business rates bill in the business name and the business must be classified as one of the sectors listed in the government guidance. The scheme closes to applicants on 30th June 2021.

Check if your business is eligable for a Restart Grant. Please read the guidance carefully. There is a lot of it, but it might save you time if you don’t qualify.

We are expecting a lot of applications for this grant, so please be patient if you don’t receive your money immediately. It could take us several weeks to review all the applications and pay the grants, but be assured we will pay them as fast as possible.
