Where to find your small business coronavirus grant

All small businesses that pay rates are eligible for a coronavirus grant of between £10,000 and £25,000

Here we provide a round-up of UK local authorities with links to their register pages for small business coronavirus grants.

UPDATED: Responding to the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic, the government announced there would be support for small businesses and businesses in the retail, hospitality and leisure sectors. This small business coronavirus grant will take the form of two funding schemes:

  • The Small Business Grant Fund – a one-off grant of £10,000 for eligible businesses to help meet their ongoing business costs
  • Retail, Hospitality and Leisure Grant – a cash grant of up to £25,000 per property if you are eligible (businesses with a property that has a rateable value of over £15,000 and less than £51,000)

So far, about 50 per cent of businesses eligible for the coronavirus small business grant have received their cash but some councils have only distributed a tenth of the money due to small businesses, according to the business ministry.

As of April 20, £6.11bn has been paid out to 491,725 business properties in England.

Because grants are allocated per business property, a single business can receive multiple grants and may receive grants from separate local authorities.
