Cheshire East Council is inviting applications for a new round of business support grants.<\/p>\n

The council has been awarded a further allocation of Additional Restrictions Grant (ARG) by government to help businesses to recover from the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic and to help rebuild the local economy.<\/p>\n

As part of this, applications are now open for businesses to apply for an Extended Restrictions Grant.<\/p>\n

This is to support those that remained closed or were severely impacted by the government’s decision to delay stage 4 of its roadmap out of lockdown and extend restrictions for a further four weeks into July.<\/p>\n

Eligible businesses – which include travel agents, pet boarding businesses, nightclubs, theatres, cinemas, wedding and event venues, and those which directly supply wedding and event venues, such as florists and caterers – can apply for a one-off grant of between \u00a32,000 and \u00a34,500.<\/p>\n

The scheme is open to both businesses that operate from business rated premises and those that do not.<\/p>\n

Applications can be submitted via the council’s website Coronavirus (Covid-19) help for Business Rates customers (cheshireeast.gov.uk)<\/a>, where businesses can also find details of the full eligibility criteria.<\/p>\n

The deadline for applying is midnight on 12 October 2021. The council is expecting to be able to make payment to successful businesses within three weeks of receiving their application.<\/p>\n

Cllr Nick Mannion, chair of Cheshire East Council’s economy and growth committee, said: “Cheshire East businesses have been extremely resilient throughout the pandemic and thankfully, with the lifting of lockdown restrictions, many are beginning to recover from the impacts.<\/p>\n

“But the effects of the pandemic have been hugely challenging and support grants, such as the Extended Restrictions Grant, offer crucial financial support to many businesses.<\/p>\n

“As with our previous grant schemes, I urge businesses to submit their application for a grant as soon as possible and access the support available to them.”<\/p>\n

The remainder of the council’s ARG allocation will be used to provide a ‘recovery and growth programme’, which will include a package of direct business support, including business coaching.<\/p>\n

It will also include a grant scheme to assist those looking to invest in their premises, facilities, or equipment to enable them to re-open quickly, bring staff and customers safely back to work or to capitalise on new opportunities.<\/p>\n

More details of this programme will be announced over the coming weeks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
