Strategic Framework Business Fund

Strategic Framework Business Fund

Please note, as mandated by the Scottish Government, the Strategic Framework Business Fund closed to new applications at 5pm on Monday 22 March 2021. You had to apply to the Strategic Framework Business Fund before 5 February 2021 to - potentially - be eligible for Top-Up Funding (see below).

As of 1 January 2021 there is no longer an upper limit on future payments for any eligible business operating multiple premises. Any further payments will be made automatically in alignment with the relevant Level.

The purpose of this grant - linked to Scotland’s Strategic Framework - is to provide (from 2 November 2020 onwards) support to specific businesses closed or directly impacted by law, in the form of:

  • Business Temporary Closure Fund - a grant of £2,000 or £3,000 (depending on rateable value) for businesses required to close by law, payable every four weeks in arrears for the duration protective measures are in place
     
  • Business Restrictions Fund - a grant of £1,400 or £2,100 (depending on rateable value) for businesses that remain open, but are specifically required to modify their operations by protective measures, payable every four weeks in arrears for the duration measures are in place. This means that your business is legally required to close earlier than normal, for example, not that you have to adopt physical distancing or that the demand for your products or services has been reduced because of the pandemic or other restrictions which impact on individuals and communities.
