Buckinghamshire businesses encouraged to apply for local funding
Applications are open again for the Buckinghamshire 'Additional Restrictions Grant' scheme
Businesses in Buckinghamshire are being encouraged to seek support from the Bucks ARG scheme.
Buckinghamshire Businesses who are not eligible for Covid grants offered by the government are being encouraged to look at local support, including the Buckinghamshire 'Additional Restrictions Grant' (Bucks ARG) scheme.
Buckinghamshire Council have reopened their ARG programme of funding support, for two additional rounds.
The last round of funding went live on Thursday (25/03) and is set to run until the end of April, while the fund lasts.
The Bucks ARG scheme was put in place to provide a financial lifeline to help local businesses who fall outside the funding criteria set out by national government under the Local Restrictions Support Grant (LRSG) or the Self Employed Income Support Scheme (SEISS).
So far, more than ÂŁ14 million has been paid out through the Buckinghamshire Additional Restrictions Grant scheme - helping over 3,500 businesses in Buckinghamshire who employ over 7,600 people.
Payments for the second period covering loss of income in March will follow the first round of payments.
Payment amounts for each grant will vary according to the number of employees for businesses - full details are on the Council's website.
Businesses can apply on the Buckinghamshire Council website,**** for both rounds through a single form.
