The Welsh Government has announced a further package of support to cover the operating costs for July and August 2021 for businesses required to remain closed and who remain severely impacted as a result of the continuation of the restrictions.
To qualify for support, businesses must show their turnover has reduced by more than 60% compared to the corresponding timeline in 2019 or equivalent. All eligible businesses will need to apply for the funding.
Eligible businesses in the hospitality, leisure and tourism sectors and their supply chains who continue to be severely impacted by restrictions include:
- attractions limited by social distancing
- venues for school visits
- travel agents
Eligible businesses will be entitled to an additional payment of between £1,000 and £25,000, depending on their size, structure and circumstance, to cover the period up to the end of August.
An eligibility checker will open on the Business Wales website on the 5th of July.
The fund will open to applications from Tuesday 13 July 2021, and will remain open for a 2 week period, closing on Friday 23 July 2021.
