LOCAL AUTHORITY COVID-19 SMALL BUSINESS GRANTS & SUPPORT

BASINGSTOKE & DEANE BOROUGH COUNCIL

14th November 2020

Businesses that were open as usual, but were then required to close between 5 November and 2 December 2020 due to the national restrictions imposed by government may be eligible for LRSG (Closed) Addendum.

​

Eligibility

​

Your business may be eligible if it:

• is based in England

• occupies property on which it pays business rates (and is the ratepayer)

• has been required to close because of the national restrictions from 5 November to 2 December 2020

• has been unable to provide its usual in-person customer service from its premises

​

For example, this could include non-essential retail, leisure, personal care, sports facilities and hospitality businesses. It could also include businesses that operate primarily as an in-person venue, but which have been forced to close those services and provide a takeaway-only service instead.

​

Eligible businesses can get one grant for each non-domestic property.

​

What you get

​

The grant will be based on the rateable value of the property on the first full day of restrictions.

​

If your business has a property with a rateable value of £15,000 or less, you may be eligible for a cash grant of £1,334 for each 28-day qualifying restrictions period.

​

If your business has a property with a rateable value over £15,000 and less than £51,000, you may be eligible for a cash grant of £2,000 for each 28-day qualifying restrictions period.

​

If your business has a property with a rateable value of £51,000 or above, you may be eligible for a cash grant of £3,000 for each 28-day qualifying restrictions period.
