Business Rates Cash Grant for Small Businesses and Businesses in the Retail, Hospitality and Leisure Sector.
Salford City Council welcomes the government’s packages of support to local businesses in the form of rates relief, discounts and grants through this period of disruption caused by COVID-19 and are in the process of implementing them.
We hold information on Small Business Rate Relief, Rural Rates Relief, retail and hospitality businesses within Salford, and have contacted all the eligible businesses that we can about discount and grants. Systems have been put in place so that grant payments are being processed as quickly as possible, and reliefs and discounts applied to your business rates bill.
Businesses we have identified as eligible for funding have been contacted by letter, email and text, so you don’t need to apply for the funding. If you’ve not heard but think you may be entitled to a grant please check the criteria below and apply online with supporting evidence.
Who needs to complete the below form
- If we have already been in contact you will still need to confirm your bank details
- There are some businesses that we haven’t been able to contact. If you think you are eligible but have not been contacted, please check the eligibility information below before completing the online form. Please also make sure you provide the evidence requested.
- If you are aware of other businesses who may be eligible, please encourage them to apply and not miss out. (eg commercial agents/landlords, please support local government by ensuring information about these grants reaches your tenants)
Only businesses with their own assessment for business rates and eligible for SBRR, rural or Expanded Retail Discount with a rateable value below £51,000 will be eligible for the grant. If a business is not registered for business rates (eg those operating out of business centres, enterprise zones, serviced office accommodation or multi-occupied buildings) they will not get funding through the government schemes.
The key criteria is that:
- You must have a property in Salford with a rateable value under £51,000 per annum for businesses in the retail, hospitality and leisure sector OR a property for any other sector with a rateable value of under £15,000 per annum.
(Your rateable value can be checked here https://www.tax.service.gov.uk/business-rates-find/list-valuations-by-postcode ) - You must be registered as liable for business rates with the local billing authority on Wednesday 11 March 2020
- Only the named business rates payer can apply
