Watford Council extending cash grants to eligible businesses hit by Covid

Businesses may be entitled to financial support. Credit: PA Watford Borough Council is to offer support for local businesses, with extensions to two of its financial assistance grants. The Home Business Support Grant and the Additional Restrictions Grant are open to businesses that have been negatively impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic, but who do not meet the criteria for other means of financial support – such as the Local Restrictions Support Grant or the Restart Grant. The Home Business Support Grant is open to home-based businesses that were required to close during the most recent period of restrictions, those that supply to the retail, hospitality and leisure sectors, and who have experienced financial difficulties due to lockdown. Those eligible will receive a cash grant equivalent of £500 for the five month period between December 2020 and April 2021.
