Swale Borough Council – Top Up Grant Application Form

The basic idea of the grant is simple - financial support for businesses forced to close or significantly impacted by the national restrictions that have not received sufficient funding to cover their regular fixed monthly costs.

  1. The Local Restrictions Support Grant (Closed)
  2. The Additional Restrictions Support Grant
  3. The Local Restrictions Support Grant (Open)

We will only pay a top up grant for the time period(s) for which you have already successfully been awarded a grant from one or more of the above schemes.
