Additional Restrictions Grant (ARG3) scheme launched 25.03.21
Date Added: 25/03/2021
We have launched our Additional Restrictions Grant 3 (ARG) to enable more businesses to apply for further business support grant funding.
The changes include:
-
Removing Self-Employment Income Support Scheme (SEISS) recipients and company directors receiving furlough from the list of ineligible applicants. Now, applicants who receive SEISS, or company directors who have received furlough payments, can receive £2,000 if they meet the qualifying criteria.
-
‘Topping-up’ payments to all successful ARG1 applicants. All applicants that received an ARG payment in round 1 of our ARG scheme will receive the same payment as they did from ARG1, except those that do not operate from a rated premises. Businesses that do not operate from a rated premises will receive a payment of £2,000 rather than the £4,000 they received in ARG1. These applicants do not need to reapply for a ‘top-up’ payment as we will contact all eligible businesses to confirm that they are still trading before any payments are issued.
All applications to ARG3 will be processed in order of when they are received, and we encourage businesses to apply for ARG3 as soon as possible to avoid missing out.
Businesses can apply for the ARG3 scheme via our website from 25 March until 22 April.
