During our first webinar, we covered various topics including accessing government support, business grants as well as cash preservation and maintaining up-to-date records.
Newham Business Desk Team covered the grants funds.
82% of the Business Grants (47 million worth) have been now paid out by Newham Council to local businesses. Applications are processed on the same day and are paid out within 5-6 working days.
The central government will allocate additional funds which will cover more grants for businesses, including:
- Small businesses in shared offices; regular market traders who do not have their own business rates assessment;
- Bed&Breakfast which pay Council tax instead of business rates;
- Charity properties in receipt of charitable business rates relief;
When applying to grants, please check your business and payment details to avoid payment delays. You cannot receive multiple grants.
The Self-Employment Income Support Scheme is now open and can be claimed.
