As of today (20 April 2020) £6.11 billion has been paid
out to 491,725 businesses properties, approximately
half of the grant funding allocated (49.58%).
The Small Business Grants Fund is a £10,000 grant per
eligible business, originally announced at Budget.
Businesses included in this scheme are those which on
11 March were eligible for relief under the Small
Business Rate Relief Scheme (including those with a
rateable value between £12,000 and £15,000 which
receive tapered relief) or the Rural Rate Relief
Scheme.
The Retail, Hospitality and Leisure Business Grants
Fund was announced by the Chancellor on 17 March.
Businesses in scope will be those that were eligible on
11 March for a discount under the Expanded Retail
Discount scheme and with a rateable value of less than
£51,000:
- eligible businesses in these sectors with a
property that has a rateable value of up to and
including £15,000 will receive a grant of £10,000
- eligible businesses with a property that has a
rateable value of over £15,000 and less than £51,000
will receive a grant of £25,000
Grants will be provided in respect of each property
(hereditament); therefore, businesses with multiple
outlets would receive more than one grant and may
receive grants from separate local authorities.

Additional information
Figures for delivered grants are accurate as of 20
April 2020.
Businesses with multiple outlets can receive more than
one grant and may receive grants from separate local
authorities, if their different outlets are in
different local authority areas. Only one grant can be
paid per business premise.
Local authorities are contacting eligible businesses.
It is important that businesses who have been contacted
respond quickly and that any businesses who believe
they are eligible check the arrangements in their area
on their local authority website if they have yet to be
contacted.
Businesses should refer in the first instance to
the grant funding
schemes guidance.
