This is to help businesses with their immediate cash flow and to help them survive the economic consequences of lockdown restrictions.

For all businesses that we have paid for December to March, we are now able to make one more payment in March 2021. This will be automated over the new few weeks and YOU DON'T need to apply again.

If you haven't yet made any application for the grant scheme but you think you may be eligible then you should apply below.

This new grant payment doesn't allow you to apply for the previous payment rounds.

 

How do I know if I should still complete a form or not? - We have set up the online form to tell you early on if we have already awarded you the grant. If it lets you complete the form and submit then that means we still need an application from you.
