With a national lockdown predicted to continue until mid-February, the levels of uncertainty have risen for thousands of businesses across the UK.
Last week, Chancellor Rishi Sunak announced one-off grants available for businesses in the hospitality, retail and leisure sectors. The new grants are expected to benefit over 600,000 businesses and are worth £4 billion in total across all nations of the UK.
For retail, hospitality and leisure businesses, up to £9,000 per property can be claimed.
For other businesses impacted, a £594 million discretionary fund has also been made available.
The eligibility criterion is based on the rateable value of the closed business.
