Two business grants and a business rates relief scheme are still open – please do not miss out.

A wide range of sectors could benefit including manufacturing, office, transport, storage and distribution and many more.

If your business has been impacted by the pandemic and you can demonstrate you have been unable to adapt – for example by submitting bank statements/accounts showing turnover before the pandemic and now – then you could be eligible.

You could receive up to a 100% rebate on your 2021/22 business rates bill. Visit www.oldham.gov.uk/carf to apply. 

The Omicron Hospitality and Leisure Grant is for hospitality, leisure and accommodation businesses who pay business rates. Grants of up to £6,000 are available. Apply at www.oldham.gov.uk/omicrongrant 

Omicron Additional Restrictions Grant: new phase opening

On Monday (14 February) the next phase of the Omicron Additional Restrictions Grant will open – giving wedding industry businesses, English language schools, personal care and gyms operating from commercial premises – the opportunity to apply.

Businesses in the initial phase – leisure, accommodation and hospitality businesses that don’t pay business rates or travel and hospitality suppliers – can still apply but will no longer be prioritised.
