Updated 1 July 2021
The Government has provided a package of measures to support businesses during the period of disruption caused by coronavirus (COVID-19). For more details, please visit the Government website.
Grant funding for businesses - all schemes currently closed
The Government is using local councils to pay grants to businesses in line with schemes it has set up. At present, there are no schemes open for applications - if this changes we will update this page.
Closed schemes
Small business support grants and Retail, Hospitality and Leisure support grants
We paid out £26 million in grants to eligible business rate payers, for more than 1,900 properties in Dacorum under these schemes.
Local Authority discretionary business grants
We paid out £1.4 million in grants to 190 businesses under this scheme.
Local Restrictions Support Grants for the period 5 November 2020 to 31 March 2021, Christmas Support Payment for wet-led pubs and Closed Business Lockdown Payment
Grants were available for businesses that had been ordered to close, or had been able to remain open but were severely impacted by the tier restrictions.
Additional Restrictions Grant - Phases 1 and 2
This scheme provided grants to businesses that did not qualify under the terms of previous grant schemes but which had suffered significant financial losses due to the pandemic. Find out more about the Additional Restrictions Grant - Phase 2
Restart Grants
Grants were available to support businesses with reopening as the restrictions eased. These grants were only available for businesses that receive business rates bills for their premises. Find out more about Restart Grants.
