Essex Local Authority Grants

Posted on: June 10, 2020

Charities may be able to access local authority funding via either the small business grant or retail and hospitality grant.

The Small Business Grant provides a one-off cash grant of £10,000 to eligible businesses, to help with ongoing business costs.

The Retail and Hospitality Grant provides a cash grant of up to £25,000 per property, depending on the rateable value, if your organisation operates within the retail, hospitality or leisure sectors.

Eligibility for these varies by local authority, but the small business grant will take precedence over the retail and hospitality grant – we suggest you look into the uses of your premises to see which you are most likely to be successful for.
