Covid Grant Form

Swale Borough Council - Tier 3 Restrictions Grant

On 02 December 2020, tier 3 restrictions were imposed by Government. This triggers the implementation of the Tier 3 Restrictions Grant. The basic idea of the grant is simple - financial support for businesses forced to close or significantly impacted by the national restrictions.

You are eligible to apply for a grant if one of the following applies:

  1. Your business does not have commercial premises and has been instructed to close by the restrictions implemented on 02 December 2020.
  2. Your business has commercial premises, has not been instructed to close but is severely impacted by the restrictions implemented on 02 December 2020.
  3. Your business does not have commercial premises, has not been instructed to close but is severely impacted by the restrictions implemented on 02 December 2020.

*Businesses that have chosen to close but not been required to will not be eligible for this grant, unless they can demonstrate Severe Impact through cancelled orders for products and services to closed businesses in the retail, hospitality, leisure or events sectors.

Please read the Tier 3 Restrictions Grant Scheme Guidance Document BEFORE completing this application form.

Swale Borough Council will not be providing additional financial support to businesses that are already receiving grant funding via the Local Restrictions Support Grant (Closed) scheme. Nor will we be providing loss of income funding to businesses that will be eligible to claim in Round 3 of the Self-Employment Income Support Scheme grant.

The grant will be open to applications from the 08 December 2020.
