Businesses looking to receive help from the new Coronavirus Business Support Fund have been asked to submit a completed application.
The fund is delivered by Scottish local authorities on behalf of the Scottish Government.
The aim of the scheme is to help protect people’s jobs, prevent business closure and promote economic recovery.
Eligible businesses registered for Non-Domestic Rates in Glasgow can apply for a grant of £10,000 or £25,000 – based on rateable value and sector type - to Glasgow City Council.
Further details on eligibility and how to apply for the relevant grant can be found here.
Businesses are being asked to submit full applications when applying for the fund. Applications should include a Rates Return Number and a copy of the Business Bank Statement, and should be sent as one email to COVIDbusinessgrant@glasgow.gov.uk.
It is key to processing applications quickly and allocating funding to businesses that applications are complete when submitted.
There have been over 12,700 applications made for the Coronavirus Business Support Fund in Glasgow so far.
£19 million has been issued so far by the expanded Glasgow City Council team working on processing the grants.
Those businesses who have not yet received an acknowledgement should contactbusinesssupport@glasgow.gov.uk.
A statement from the local authority reads: "If businesses have received an acknowledgement, we ask that they please bear with us while we process their application. For those yet to receive an acknowledgement, we are looking into this as a matter of urgency and hope to have any issues resolved as quickly as possible."
An FAQ document has been created to help with detail on how to apply for the Fund and can be found here.
The deadline for applications is March 31 2021.
