The last year has seen unprecedented times for the team advising on and delivering Welsh Government grants and support that have helped businesses combat the impact of this dreadful virus.
We started with NNDR grants and worked our way through ERF, Self-Employment, 3 phases of Freelancer, Lockdown, Firebreak, Discretionary and Restriction Business Fund Grants.
The First Minister has recently announced that alert level 4 lockdown restrictions will remain in place in Wales for the next 3 weeks to allow the NHS to recover.
The Restrictions Business Fund Non-Domestic Rates (NDR) and Discretionary based grants for non-essential retail, hospitality, leisure and tourism (NERHLT) sectors has been extended to provide a single top up payment to cover the period between the 25 January and end of March 2021 for businesses affected by national restrictions.
Businesses not eligible for non-domestic rates will be able to continue to apply to local authorities for a Discretionary Grant.
