BUSINESSES across the city have been invited to apply for the latest lockdown support grants to help support them as they reopen to the public.
The funds are from the Government but are administrated in Oxford by Oxford City Council to help Oxford businesses to reopen safely.
The Restart Grant is a one-off grant for businesses occupying a property and supports businesses that are predominantly reliant on delivering in-person services for the general public.
Funding will be made available for non-essential retail, as well as hospitality, accommodation, leisure, personal care, and gym.
Grants of up to £6,000 for non-essential retail business premises, to help them reopen safely
Grants of up to £18,000 for hospitality, accommodation, leisure, personal care, and gym business premises.
This scheme also enables local authorities to pay discretionary grants of up to £2,000 per 28 days to closed businesses that do not have a rateable value and businesses that have been severely impacted rather than closed.
The closing date for all applications is 30 June 2021.
