the number of employees being furloughed
-
the claim period (start and end date)

amount claimed (per the minimum length of furloughing of 3 consecutive weeks)
-
the relevant bank account number and sort code
-
claimant’s contact name
-
a contact phone number

Small Business Grant Funding
What is it?
The Government is providing additional funding for local authorities to support small businesses that already pay little or no business rates because of small business rate relief (SBRR), rural rate relief (RRR) and tapered relief. This will provide a one-off grant of £10,000 to eligible businesses to help meet their ongoing business costs.
Am I eligible?
You will be eligible if:
1. Your business is based in England* AND
2. In receipt of small business rate relief or rural rate relief as of 11 March AND
3. You are a business that occupies property
