Lincolnshire County Council’s Business Recovery Fund has received applications for more than £3 million in just two days as the second round of funding prepares to open.
It is one of four grant funds that were made available for small businesses in Lincolnshire earlier this year to help the recovery from the impact of coronavirus. They’re coming from a £12 million support package from Lincolnshire County Council.
The Business Recovery Fund has now had over 400 applications, which are being processed before funding can be allocated.
Applications for the second round of funding will open at 9am on Thursday, March 4 to offer help to more businesses those that have made a loss in the 2020 calendar year.

A woman in Grantham was the victim of an alleged theft and fraud incident, in which her bank cards were used to take £700.
The woman in her 60s lost her purse while out in the Lincolnshire town on February 14.
Two bank cards were later used to withdraw money from cash machines in Grantham, including from the Esso service station on Harlaxton Road.
Lincolnshire Police released an image of a man on March 2, who they believe may be able to assist with their investigation.
