What is it?
The Restart Grant is a one-off cash grant worth up to £18,000 per premises to help non-essential retailers reopen and trade safely.
Who is it for?
Non-essential retailers in England, including:
- Hospitality
- Accommodation
- Leisure
- Personal care
- Gyms
How does it work?
It is a one-off cash grant.
Non-essential retailers are eligible for a grant worth up to £6,000 per premises.
Hospitality, hotels, gyms, personal care and leisure firms will be eligible for up to £18,000 per premises as they are due to open later under the plans for easing lockdown.
The £5 billion of grants available are targeted at England, but the devolved nations in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland will receive an extra £794 million in funding through the Barnett formula.
What should I do next?
Local authorities will be distributing the grants and will receive the funding in April 2021.
