<p>The Government has announced several measures available to UK businesses, including
the coach sector, to support them through this challenging time, and launched a ‘<a
href="https://www.gov.uk/business-coronavirus-support-finder" target="_blank">support
finder’</a> tool to help businesses quickly and easily determine what financial support
is available to them during the coronavirus pandemic.</p><p> </p><p>As of 2 December,
councils in Tier 2 and Tier 3 areas of England are receiving funding to provide grants
to closed businesses and run local discretionary grant schemes to support affected
businesses. These grants could be available to businesses that supply the retail,
hospitality and leisure sectors, including coaches. These allocations will be published
shortly and are in addition to the £2.3 billion already provided to local councils
since the start of the pandemic. Local Authorities will administer this scheme and
determine on a case-by-case basis where to allocate funding.</p>
