Denbighshire encouraging businesses to apply for grant funding

Further funding is available for businesses impacted by the coronavirus pandemic.

Denbighshire County Council is helping to administer the Welsh Government funds in the county.

Businesses with a turnover greater than £85,000 can apply through the Welsh Government’s Business Wales platform and this scheme will open on 13 July and close on 27 July.

Businesses with a turnover less than £85,000 can apply through the Council and this scheme will open on July 26 and close on August 9.

Eligible businesses will need to demonstrate the following:

Experienced a severe impact through reduced turnover of 60 per cent or more in July and August 2021, as compared to July and August 2019, caused directly by on-going Covid-19 restrictions.

Forced to remain closed or unable to trade by on-going restrictions between July 1, 2021 and August 31, 2021.

Dedicated event space and attractions severely impacted by ongoing social distancing regulations.

Businesses with up to 60 per cent impact on turnover as a direct result of ongoing restrictions since May 1 and were unable to open indoors before May 17, 2021.

A supply chain business that generates 60 per cent or more of its sales revenue from businesses which have been impacted by restrictions.

Business which have received funding in the last 12 months which exceed total turnover in the 2019 financial year and businesses where business income is less than half of your total income are unable to apply for this funding.

Cllr Hugh Evans OBE, Leader of Denbighshire County Council, said: “We are again encouraging businesses to apply for the funding being made available by Welsh Government.

“It is vital businesses apply for this funding to ensure they are getting all the support that is available to them which helps protect jobs and the economy in Denbighshire.”
