Local Restrictions Support Grant (for closed businesses)

Eligible businesses

Businesses that are eligible are those that have been mandated to close by government and include non-essential retail, leisure, personal care, sports facilities and hospitality businesses.

Check if you are eligible for the Local Restrictions Support Grant on GOV.UK. 

Payments 

For properties with a rateable value of:

• £15,000 or under - grants are £1,334 per month
• £15,000 to £51,000 - grants are £2,000 per month
• £51,000 or over - grants are £3,000 per month

Closed Business Lockdown Payment

In addition, eligible businesses will receive a one-off payment.

For properties with a rateable value of:

• £15,000 or under - one-off payment of £4,000
• £15,000 to £51,000 - one-off payment of £6,000
• £51,000 or over - one-off payment of £9,000

You do not need to apply separately for this.  If your application for the Local Restrictions Support Grant is successful you will automatically be given the one-off payment in addition.

If you received a payment from the council for the November lockdown this will be paid automatically so you do not need to reapply.
