Businesses in Wales affected by recent devastating floods will be able to access up to £2,500 of emergency Welsh Government funding.
The Business Flood Relief Grant opens to applications today, with firms affected by flooding able to claim support to help them stabilise their operations.
The funding follows damage and disruption caused by Storm Bella in December last year and Storm Christoph in January.
It will be administered by Business Wales and will support firms with the costs of recovery and repair, and help them to meet the cost of renting alternative space and retaining staff.
Economy, Transport and North Wales Minister Ken Skates said: “Sadly we know around 45 Welsh businesses were affected by recent flooding.
"This means that on top of all the wider challenges they are facing at the moment these businesses are also having to cope with damaged property, stock and equipment while navigating often complex insurance claims.
“Our Business Flood Relief Grant Scheme has been designed to provide financial support to businesses who have felt the full force of devastating floods from recent storms."
The fund will be administered by Business Wales. To apply, visit: https://businesswales.gov.wales/business-flood-relief-fund
It will remain open to businesses affected by any further storms before the end of March, funds permitting. Eligibility criteria will apply.
