Businesses which are required to close, due to the national restrictions, are eligible for a Local Restrictions Support Grant up to £3,000 per month.

This will be treated in the same way the initial £10,000 and £25,000 grants were.

The grant is based on your businesses rateable value, broken down below:

• For properties with a rateable value of £15k or under, grants will be £1,334 per month.
• For properties with a rateable value between £15k-£51k grants will be £2,000 per month.
• For properties with a rateable value of £51k or over grants will be £3,000 per month.

Will your business be eligible?

Your business may be eligible if all 4 of the below criteria are met:

• Your business is based in England
• Occupies property on which it pays business rates
• Has been required to close because of national restrictions from 5 November to 2 December 2020
• Has been unable to provide its usual in-person customer service from its premises

You cannot get funding if your business can continue to operate during the period of restrictions, because you do not depend on providing in-person services at your business premises.

Local Restrictions Support Grant payments will be made following eligibility checks, which will be conducted by your local council.
