Answer
The £3M Micro-Business E-commerce Grant for retail businesses was launched on the 2nd February and is open for applications until 6pm 12th March 2021. Successful applicants can receive a grant of up to £5,000 to help them engage expertise to grow their online sales.
Funding will be allocated on a “first come first served basis” and if demand exceeds the budget available the call for applications may be closed earlier than the planned deadline.
