Thousands of businesses across Greater Manchester can claim business rate relief from the council, but the deadline is fast approaching. The funding, offering financial help with business rates for companies across Greater Manchester is part of the £1.5 billion government package to support businesses affected by Covid.
The scheme could pay up to 100 per cent of the business rates for 2021/22 for businesses in the region, but around 60 per cent of the fund is currently unclaimed.
The types of businesses which are eligible for the relief fund include Outdoor advertising car park operators, charities, recycling businesses, language schools and some others. However, many properties within the hospitality and entertainment sector are not eligible.
