Answer

The scheme is open to all businesses which have been unable to access the Localised Restrictions Support Scheme (LRSS) or Coronavirus Restrictions Business Support Scheme (CRBSS) Part B.

Off-licences which received either the £10,000 or £25,000 grants in 2020 are eligible for this scheme, providing they meet all other qualifying criteria.
