Eligible businesses need to register NOW for business grants

 

 

The council is aware that many businesses are not making the most of the support that is there for them.

 

If you occupy business premises in Monmouthshire with a rateable value of £12,000 or less, or you are a retail, leisure or hospitality business with a rateable value of £12,001 to £51,000 you should be registering for a business grant NOW. A number of those who have successfully registered are already in receipt of the funds. Unless you fill in the online form, you will not receive the help you could be eligible for.

 

I­­f you come under the Small Business Rates Relief, and you currently don’t pay business rates, you are still eligible to register for the grants.

 

The grants of £10,000 and £25,000 (which will not need to be paid back) will be administered by Monmouthshire County Council and registrations will be processed as soon as possible, subject to checking.

 

Welsh Government business grants are available in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, but it is estimated that up to 2,000 potentially eligible firms in Monmouthshire are yet to fill in the online registration form. 

 

These grants will not automatically be paid to you. We need your details, so register online.

 

Your first step to check eligibility by visitinghttps://businesswales.gov.wales/covid-19-grants and then register at https://www.monmouthshire.gov.uk/business-advice/  

 

The Welsh Government also has announced further financial support for businesses not covered by these grants. For more details and other available support https://businesswales.gov.wales/financial-support-and-grants

 

If you have a business or know of a business that could be eligible, please act now.
