Financial support for your business

Grants and other financial support is available for businesses that have been impacted by COVID-19:

Local Restrictions Support Grant (LRSG) You can apply for this grant if your business has a business rates account and has been required to close by government due to local or national COVID-19 restrictions.
Discretionary Additional Restrictions Grant (ARG) You can apply for this grant if your business:
- is not registered with a business rates account and is therefore not eligible for a Local Restriction Support Grant, but has fixed business property related costs, such as rent, a lease or mortgage and was required to close by the government due to local or national restrictions, or
- was not required to close by Government and therefore is not eligible for a Local Restriction Support Grant, but has been severely impacted as it is in the wholesale supply chain of hospitality, accommodation, and leisure sectors. This includes businesses with a business rates account, and those without an account but with fixed business property related costs.
