The Discretionary Grant Fund (DGF) is aimed at businesses that were not eligible to claim the initial government COVID-19 grants linked to rates relief.

The levels of grant funding available are as follows:

• Micro businesses – £5,000
• Small businesses – £10,000
  

All eligible businesses who need the money should apply, but we must stress that there is only enough money available in the government fund to provide meaningful support to a very small percentage of eligible businesses that complete the application.
