VLOG: Coronavirus (COVID-19): New support tool launched and calling businesses in receipt of rate relief

Yesterday (20 April) the Government launched a new online platform helping businesses to access the specific financial support they are eligible to receive during the Coronavirus pandemic.

A simple questionnaire has been created and will signpost our businesses to the relevant government support newly-announced schemes and deferment options.

In addition – it’s important for Oxfordshire businesses to remember that those in-receipt of small business rate relief or rural rate reliefcan make use of grants of £10000 through the Small Business Grants Fund.

We encourage all eligible businesses to contact their respective local authorities as soon as possible to find out more.
