Changes To ERF Eligibility Criteria And Sole Traders Grant Award in Wales

The Welsh Government has announced two changes to its £120m financial support that has been made available for businesses impacted Coronavirus:
​

• They have increased the award for qualifying sole traders, freelancers and taxi drivers who do not pay rates to £1,000.
• They have amended the eligibility criteria for the level of reduced turnover required for the Economic Resilience Fund (ERF). To be eligible for an ERF grant businesses in the hospitality, leisure and attractions sectors and their supply chains, must have experienced a material impact through reduced turnover of 50% or more between December 2021 and February 2022 as compared to December 2019 and February 2020.
