The Minister for Regional Growth and Local Government has announced £20 million in new funding in order to help thousands of smaller sized businesses to recover from the effects of the pandemic.
Small and medium sized businesses will have access to grants of between £1,000 – £5,000 to help them access new technology and other equipment as well as professional, legal, financial or other advice to help them get back on track.
Minister for Regional Growth and Local Government, Simon Clarke MP, commented, “We have always said that we would stand behind our businesses and communities as we rebuild following the coronavirus pandemic. This new funding does exactly that.”
