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 relief, can make use of grants of £10,000 through the Small Business Grants Fund.
