Leading regional business organisations are urging companies who have not yet contacted their local council about Covid-19 grant funding to get in touch immediately after in excess of £100 million has already been administered in Coventry and Warwickshire.

The Government has announced a number of business support packages to provide grants between £10,000 and £25,000 to qualifying companies which are being administered by Coventry City Council and the district and borough councils in Warwickshire.

Staff at Coventry City Council, Warwick District Council, North Warwickshire Borough Council, Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council, Rugby Borough Council and Stratford-on-Avon District Council have been busy processing the information provided by businesses who have supplied the required basic information.

But the Coventry and Warwickshire LEP Growth Hub, the Coventry and Warwickshire Chamber and Commerce and the Federation of Small Businesses want to ensure that no eligible companies fall through the net.
