Phase three of Tendring District Council’s Business Adaptations Grants scheme has launched, offering up to £5,000 funding to help businesses and sole traders  recover from the Covid-19 pandemic.

Previous applicants can also re-apply for further funds, which can be used for anything from developing a new website to moves into new premises. Any independent, Tendring-based business can apply for a grant, including for purchases made since June 1 this year. National chains and charities are not eligible, and businesses must have been trading since November 2020.

The deadline for applications is 15 December 2021. See www.tendringdc.gov.uk/BAG for more information.
