Bucks Additional Restrictions Grant

The Buckinghamshire Additional Restriction Grant scheme is open again for applications.

Buckinghamshire Council has reopened the Buckinghamshire Additional Restrictions Grant (ARG) scheme for two additional rounds of funding. Businesses that have been heavily impacted as a result of COVID-19 restrictions during February and March 2021 can now apply.

The new ARG scheme will cover February 2021 and March 2021. Businesses can apply for both rounds of funding through a single form.

The closing date for applications is April 30th. Apply via the Buckinghamshire Council website.

Eligibility criteria

Eligibility criteria includes, but is not limited to, experiencing a reduction in income of 30% or more during February 2021 (against February 2020) and/or March 2021 (against March 2020).

IMPORTANT: If your income was already affected in February/March 2020, or if you’re a new business, you can still apply.

Businesses that may not qualify on the criteria of a 30% reduction in turnover can fill in the ‘Additional Information’ box on the application form to explain why they may be eligible, and their applications will be considered.

This will be particularly useful for new businesses or businesses whose income was already being impacted in February and March 2020.
