Business Rates Grants - How to Apply

Nottingham City Council has received its allocation of business support funding for businesses affected by the Coronavirus pandemic.

Providing businesses with the financial support theyre entitled to from Central Government is the key priority of our business support and finance teams at present. We expect to be able to make grant payments very shortly and will announce when we start doing so.

Access the application e-form here [ [link removed] ].

Payment of these grants to businesses requires a new system which takes a little time to implement, especially on this scale, and especially to ensure the right payments are made to your businesses first time to reduce inconvenience to you in uncertain times.
