District Councils across Cambridgeshire & Peterborough are now accepting applications for additional business support grants
The six District Councils across Cambridgeshire & Peterborough are now accepting applications for their respective Additional Business Support Grant schemes.
Resource has been made available from Central Government for District Councils across the region to help those businesses which are not eligible for the Local Restriction Support Grant but are still severely impacted by the second national restrictions.

To be eligible your business must be either;

If you are eligible you may be entitled to a grant of up to £3,000 based on the criteria which the government has set for the Local Restrictions Support Grant.
Further criteria include:
You cannot also be claiming support through either LRSG or Self-Employed Income Support Scheme (SEISS)
Your business must have been open and trading prior to lockdown on 4th November
Your business must be based in the relevant district
Home-based businesses and mobile businesses are eligible but you must be able to demonstrate they are based within the relevant district
