During this difficult time, the government has launched a range of schemes to support businesses through the current pandemic. These schemes cover small businesses in retail as well as hospitality and leisure and are a combination of grants, rate relief and loans. There is a separate scheme to support the self employed. It is believed that many eligible businesses have not applied for this support.

If you are in the BCP Council area, you can check if your business is eligible here.

If you are in the Dorset Council area, you can find all the information you need here.

The process of claiming should be quick and easy, but if you encounter any problems and would like support, please dont hesitate to contact us.
