<p>The Government has made a package of temporary measures available to support public
services, people, and businesses through this period of significant disruption. These
measures are intended to help businesses that may experience cashflow problems and
include:</p><p> </p><p>Grant funding of up to £10,000 for small businesses in receipt
of Small Business Rate Relief or Rural Rate Relief, administered through local authorities
in England.</p><ul><li>Grant funding of up to £25,000 for retail, hospitality, and
leisure businesses that own property with a rateable value between £15,000 and £51,000.</li><li>The
Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan Scheme, which offers loans of up to £5 million
for small and medium-sized enterprises through the British Business Bank.</li></ul><p>
