I am delighted Rishi Sunak has announced £5 billion for the Restart Grant scheme this weekend, which will be administered presently by local councils.
✅ Non-essential retail businesses will get up to £6,000 per premise through the Restart Grant scheme to help them reopen.
✅ The scheme will also be available for any small business in hospitality, accommodation, leisure, personal care and gyms, which will reopen later and will be more affected by restrictions. They can receive up to £18,000, depending on their rateable value.
