There will be grants of up to a maximum of £10,000 and for those in exceptional circumstances, a maximum grant of £25,000.
A £1.1 million discretionary fund was announced earlier this month to help businesses who previously missed out on Government support through Covid-19.
It was aimed at small businesses with high ongoing fixed commercial property-related costs who hadn’t met the criteria of the Small Business Grant, or the Retail, Hospitality and Leisure Grant Scheme.
