This form is for any business that is registered for business rates at a trading property in Norwich and was either:
- Forced to close between 16 February and 28 March 2021 due to coronavirus restrictions
or
- From 1 April 2021 and once Covid-19 restrictions are eased, will offer in-person services and operates within one of the non-essential retail, hospitality, leisure, accommodation, gym and sports or personal care sectors.
Simply complete this form and provide all of the evidence we need so we can work out what you may be eligible for and pay you as soon as possible.
If you have received a Local Restrictions Support Grant (LRSG) from us, or you are awaiting a decision on your LRSG application, you do not need to complete this form.
If your business is not rated for business rates or has not been forced to close, but is severely impacted by Covid-19 restrictions, you may be eligible for an Additional Restrictions Grant
