The Small Business Assistance Scheme for COVID (SBASC) has been opened for a second round of applications from both SMEs and microenterprises. Businesses that received the grant in the first round can receive a second grant provided they are still eligible.
From today, SMEs & microenterprises can apply for a grant to help address fixed costs:
