The Welsh Government’s Restrictions Business Fund is aimed at supporting businesses that operate within the hospitality, tourism or leisure sectors, or their supply chain and non-essential retailers that have been affected by the latest restrictions that came into force on December 4 and December 20.

Eligible businesses that received a payment under the previous Firebreak Lockdown Non Domestic Rate (NDR) grant scheme will already have received an additional automatic payment of either £3,000 or £5,000.
Businesses that have not received the automatic payment or did not previously apply for the firebreak lockdown NDR grant can access the new scheme by completing a short application on the council’s web page at www.monmouthshire.gov.uk/business-advice/
Businesses with a rateable value of between £51,000 and £150,000 operating in the hospitality, tourism, leisure, or their supply chain and non-essential retail sectors may also be eligible for a Restrictions Business Fund NDR grant. Grants are for businesses that are liable for business rates on a property in Monmouthshire.
